OCTAVES IN AN OXFORD GARDEN: 2, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: No footfall sounds within the empty hall
Last Line: A comfortable and a holy spot withal.
Subject(s): Oxford, England; Sabbath; Sunday


No footfall sounds within the empty hall;
No echoes people corridor and stair;
The sunlight slumbers on the silent square,
Forgetful of slow shadows by the wall.
Yon is the passage where low lights do fall
And linger longest (I have watched them there)
Beyond which you will find a spot most fair,
A comfortable and a holy spot withal.
