Summary of the poem:

In the poem "Someone", the poet Walter de la Mare narrates a scary experience of his life. One night, the poet was inside his house, then suddenly some knocked at his small door. That night was very dark and still. But, to his surprise and horror, when he opened the door, he saw no one. But he was sure that he listened someone knocking at his door. 

The outside of his house was not visible due to the darkness of the night. But he could heard the clear sound of beetle tapping in the wall. The owls were screeching to a haunting effect. Crickets were whistling. The dewdrops were falling. The night was very horrifying. But that suspicious knocking doubled the poet's fear.
