The Lock Less Door
by Robert Frost
presented by Jake Gomez

It went many years, and at last came a knock,

and I thought of the door with no lock to lock.

I blew out the light, I tip-toed the floor, and raised both hands in a prayer to the door.

But the knock came again
My window was wide; I climbed on the sill and descended outside.

Back over the sill I bade a "Come in" to whoever the knock at the door may have been.

So at a knock I emptied my cage to hide in the world and alter with age.
