Poem - "The Door in the Dark" by Robert Frost

"The Door in the Dark" 
by Robert Frost


In going from room to room in the dark,


I reached out blindly to save my face,

But neglected, however lightly, to lace

My fingers and close my arms in an arc.

A slim door got in past my guard,

And hit me a blow in the head so hard

I had my native simile jarred.

So people and things don't pair any more

With what they used to pair with before.
