Visitor, On my door why has your shadow not crossed? Is it my companionship you do not want?
Is it greed that parts us from sharing? Is it mine lust for thy company? That keeps you from my presence
Night after night, room to room I search for you my friend It is for the sake of peace Your name I scream
As I walk to and fro With my head hung low And nothing does my eyes see Your gentle face I cannot find
Oh visitor Where are you in the night So many have found your arms And want not the journey they began
Yet,Β Β it is for your name Upon my knees the dust I scatter Tears follow the traveled path And my voice can no longer sing
Oh my friend if my eyes you find closed At the door, bother not with a knock My welcome you have in your ears Sling thou foul blade, for you my heart yearns
