Someone came knocking
At my wee small door
Someone came knocking
I'm sure, sure, sure
I listened, I opened
I looked left and right
But nobody was there - a string
I still lark around
Only the busy beetle
Was tap tapping on the wall
Only from the forest
Can hear the screech owl's call
Only the cricket whistling
While the dew-drops fall
So, I don't know who came knocking
At all, at all, at all.
