The Listeners(Poem)

 Hello! guys welcome to another exciting blog that is learned its name is the title only "The Listeners" so I will just summarize the poem. So let's start the exciting journey of words. The listener by Walter De La Mare is a poem based on the theme of mystery and the supernatural. the poet describes an incident about a Traveller. The Traveller was riding a horse, and he stopped by an empty, and perhaps haunted, horse situated in the middle of a forest, on a moonlit night. He knocked on the door but did not receive a response to his loud call. Instead, a bird received him when it flew from the turret of the house. The house was surrounded by ghostly silence. The Traveller knocked louder again and call louder to find out if there was anybody in. However, nobody answered the door nor did anyone come to see from the window, whose still was leafy.

The poet creates an atmosphere of eeriness by describing the listeners, who are probably a group of ghosts, they stood on the stairs in the dim moonlight and listened to the calls of the Traveller, but remained silent. Exasperated, the traveler smote on the door and uttered loudly that he had kept his promise of returning to the house. To his dismay, yet again, no one answered and the Traveller left the listeners behind as he rode away from the haunted house.
