A poem by Theodosia Garrison

Transients

________________________________________________
Title:     Transients
Author: Theodosia Garrison [More Titles by Garrison]

They are ashamed who leave so soon
The Inn of Grief--who thought to stay
Through many a faithful sun and moon,
Yet tarry but a day.

Shame-faced I watch them pay the score,
Then straight with eager footsteps press
Where waits beyond its rose-wreathed door
The Inn of Happiness.

I wish I did not know that here,
Here too--where they have dreamed to stay
So many and many a golden year
They lodge but for a day.





[The end]
Theodosia Garrison's poem: Transients
