						A Parting Guest by James Whitcomb Riley 
						
						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."
