Someone Came Knocking

Someone came knocking at my wee small door,

Someone came knocking, I'm sure sure sure.

I listened, I opened, I looked to left and right,

But nought there was a stirring in the still dark night.

Only the busy beetle tap-tapping in the wall,

Only from the forest the screech owl's call,

Only the cricket whistling while the dew drops fall,

So I know not who came knocking, at all, at all, at all.
