Every 10th word

Am I kin to Sorrow,
That so oft
Falls knocker of my door—
Neither loud nor soft,
But long accustomed,
Under Sorrow's hand?
Marigolds around the step
rosemary stand,
And then comes Sorrow—
And what does care
For the rosemary
Or the marigolds there?
Am kin to Sorrow?
Are we kin?
That so oft my door—
Oh, come in!
