I must admit curiosity as to how you equated "rapping on a door" with "rape".  "Rapping" as used in the poem means exactly what it says; to tap on the door.  Electric doorbells didn't exist in the 1800s and people would announce their presence at your door by knocking (rapping) on it.  It has nothing to do with rape.
