James Whitcomb Riley

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
   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.”
