Howard Phillips Lovecraft is one of the 20th century's most influential writers best known for his cosmic horror fiction - particularly his Cthulhu Mythos - but he also dabbled in poetry, particularly in his early career.

The Messenger is an essential condensation of a trope seen fairly often in his work - the last writing of someone about to meet a horrible fate by someone, some...thing...just beyond the threshold or behind the door.
