Awaits returning spring.

Alter at the best
Into some lesser thing.
Prove that I lie.”

And set them up again for propping shut,
The widespread double doors two stories high.
The advantage-disadvantage of these doors
Was that tramp taking sanctuary there
Must leave them unlocked to betray his presence.”
