Help me! Oh, help me! Is anyone there?
I need someone's help! It doesn't matter from where!
Even a mouse, or a browning pear,
Or a whisper of mist asleep on the air,
Anyone, anything, anyone there!
For I am--although I'm at home,
And clean and seem fairly well,
With a wife who can love me and children as well--
I am alone and very ill! Ill and alone!
And I suffer for something for which I can't atone!
And only one guest ever knocks on my door,
And his robe is of black and lightless velour,
And I know his black sythe and I know what it's for,
And I know what he'll do if I open my door,
So help me! Oh, help me! If anyone's there!
For despite my good family, my dark heart implores,
To give in to that one and all others ignores,
I don't want to die, but my hands reach out for
To open, to open, to open to that door!
