The House On The Hill

The House On The Hill

"The House On The Hill" (1894) is a villanelle by American poet Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869-1935)

:They are all gone away,:The House is shut and still,:There is nothing more to say.

:Through broken walls and gray:The winds blow bleak and shrill::They are all gone away.

:Nor is there one to-day:To speak them good or ill::There is nothing more to say.

:Why is it then we stray:Around that sunken sill?:They are all gone away,

:And our poor fancy-play:For them is wasted skill::There is nothing more to say.

:There is ruin and decay:In the House on the Hill::They are all gone away,:There is nothing more to say.
