A Parting GuestJames Whitcomb RileyWhat 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.”
