| 11. A Parting Guest |
| WHAT delightful hosts are they— | |
| Life and Love! | |
| Lingeringly I turn away, | |
| This late hour, yet glad enough | |
| They have not withheld from me | 5 |
| Their high hospitality. | |
| So, with face lit with delight | |
| And all gratitude, I stay | |
| Yet to press their hands and say, | |
| "Thanks.—So fine a time! Good night." | 10 |
