The Listeners
"Is there anybody there?" said the Traveller,
Knocking on the moonlit door

The Listeners by Walter de la Mare (1912) is a classic narrative ‘ghost poem’. My adapted version stays close to the original.

Language level: strong A2 and above

The evocative image by Anne E.G. Nydam will also help with comprehension.
