What are the words to The New House by Maya Angelou?

Question

It's a poem that I can't seem to find anywhere.

I just need to know the last stanza

Answer 1

I believe this is it:

What words
have smashed against
these walls,
crashed up and down these
halls,
lain mute and then drained
their meanings out and into
these floors?

What feelings, long since
dead,
streamed vague yearnings
below this ceiling
light?
In some dimension,
which I cannot know,
the shadows of
another still exist. I bring my
memories, held too long in check,
to let them here shoulder
space and place to be.

And when I leave to
find another house,
I wonder what among
these shades will be
left of me

Answer 2

The poem is included in Angelou's book, I Shall Not Be Moved (paperback, Bantam Books, 1991; hardcover, Random House, 1990).

Check with your local library or bookstore for a copy. The words to the poem cannot be posted here without violating copyright.
