Won't you help support DayPoems? The Narrow DoorsBy Fannie Stearns DavisBorn 1884The Wide Door into Sorrow Stands open night and day. With head held high and dancing feet I pass it on my way. I never tread within it, I never turn to see The Wide Door into Sorrow. It cannot frighten me. The Narrow Doors to Sorrow Are secret, still, and low: Swift tongues of dusk that spoil the sun Before I even know. My dancing feet are frozen. I stare. I can but see. The Narrow Doors to Sorrow They stop the heart in me. -- Oh, stranger than my midnights Of loneliness and strife The Doors that let the dark leap in Across my sunny life!
