The traveler knocked at the door when he reached the house.
The given question statement is in the context of the poem "The Listener" by Walter De La Mare.
The poem tells the story of a horseback traveler who, on a moonlit night, stopped at an empty house in the woods. He knocked on the door, desperately hoping that someone would answer. He was shocked to see that just a large number of spirits were listening. He tried to communicate with the person inside the house, but all he got in return was an echo. He had adhered to his word. The only sound made by the traveler's horse's downward-pointing hoofs as he withdrew was the silence that had welcomed him.
