Indeed, I could see that the traveller is the ghost. I
could also see it as the speaker being someone who is enduring a complex set of
emotions. For example, perhaps the speaker is someone who is attempting to resurrect
emotional connections that were severed for a great deal of time. The fact that the
speaker feels a bit uncomfortable being there and the declaration at the end of "Tell
them I came" and "I kept my word" could help to lend credence to this. At the same
time, it seems as if the speaker is knocking on a door that is locked in both literal
and figurative terms. I think that an interesting case could be made to describing
someone who used to live there, but someone who left and, after a long time, is
attempting to reestablish connection. It might also be an individual who is being
forced to face a part of life that had been silenced for a
while.
