Here is the ancient floor,
Footworn and hollowed and thin,
Here was the former door
Where the dead feet walked in.She sat here in her chair,
Smiling into the fire;
He who played stood there,
Bowing it higher and higher.Childlike, I danced in a dream;
Blessings emblazoned that day;
Everything glowed with a gleam;
Yet we were looking away!
Footworn and hollowed and thin,
Here was the former door
Where the dead feet walked in.She sat here in her chair,
Smiling into the fire;
He who played stood there,
Bowing it higher and higher.Childlike, I danced in a dream;
Blessings emblazoned that day;
Everything glowed with a gleam;
Yet we were looking away!
