This poem has been sneaking up on me a lot lately so I thought I would share it with you all…
- Yesterday upon the stair
- I saw a man who wasn’t there
- He wasn’t there again today
- Oh, how I wish he’d go away
- When I came home last night at three
- The man was waiting there for me
- But when I looked around the hall
- I couldn’t see him there at all!
- Go away, go away, don’t you come back any more!
- Go away, go away, and please don’t slam the door
- Last night I saw upon the stair
- A little man who wasn’t there
- He wasn’t there again today
- Oh, how I wish he’d go away
- “Antigonish” (1899) William Hughes Mearns
