Answer:
In "The Listeners," a traveler comes to knock on the "moonlit door" of a house in an unknown place. The traveler hopes to keep an unknown promise by coming, but no one answers his knocks at the door (though the poem describes a "host of phantom listeners" inside), and he leaves. The poem describes the anxiety and dislocation of modern life, in which people are alienated from the natural world.
