A Door just opened on a street－1
I－lost－was passing by－
An instant's Width of Warmth disclosed－
And Wealth－and Company.
The Door as instant shut－And I－5
I－lost－was passing by－
Lost doubly－but by contrast－most－
Informing－misery－
I－lost－was passing by－
An instant's Width of Warmth disclosed－
And Wealth－and Company.
The Door as instant shut－And I－5
I－lost－was passing by－
Lost doubly－but by contrast－most－
Informing－misery－
