The Unseen
by Sara Teasdale


Death went up the hall
     Unseen by every one,
Trailing twilight robes
     Past the nurse and the nun.

He paused at every door
     And listened to the breath
Of those who did not know
     How near they were to Death.

Death went up the hall
     Unseen by nurse and nun;
He passed by many a door --
     But he entered one.
