I never hear it ring without
A creepy little thrill
Expectant of some possible
Adventure, good or ill.
***
It may be just a friend who comes
To have a cup of tea;
It may be just a letter's old
Familiar mystery.
***
It may be one who comes to sell
Some queer, unwanted thing;
Or one who brings the latest news
Of war and uncrowned king.
***
It may be just these happenings
Of every-day, but still
I never hear it ring without
That funny little thrill.
