Behold, I Stand at the Door and Knock (The Life of Christ, Cannon Farrar, 1894)I have a book of Emily Dickinson's compiled poetry, and found the following (1055). It is apt at this special Christmastime.
(1055)
The Soul should always stand ajar
That if the Heaven inquire
He will not be obliged to wait
Or shy of troubling Her
Depart, before the Host have slid
The Bolt unto the Door--
To search for the accomplished Guest,
Her Visitor, no more--
