Yet the day wears,
And door succeeds door;
I try the fresh fortune—
Range the wide house from the wing to the centre.

Spend my whole day in the quest,—who cares?
But 'tis twilight, you see,—with such suites to explore,
Such closets to search, such alcoves to importune!

Such closets to search, such alcoves to importune!
