Creaking Door Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Last night I could not sleep till after
Midnight.

And I heard still even till after
Midnight.

But then when one struck after
Midnight

I heard creaking, a creak, at first,
Then more, after mid-night!

Aid me my Muse to withstand
The fear that comes again
That I felt then, then
After mid-night!

And bring another Dawn:
That braver may I grow
As needs I be
Against the creaking doors
The doors that started
Creaking
At one, and after mid-night!
