<h3> <SPAN name="tenants"></SPAN> The New Tenants<br/> </h3>
<p>The day was here when it was his to know<br/>
How fared the barriers he had built between<br/>
His triumph and his enemies unseen,<br/>
For them to undermine and overthrow;<br/>
And it was his no longer to forego<br/>
The sight of them, insidious and serene,<br/>
Where they were delving always and had been<br/>
Left always to be vicious and to grow.<br/></p>
<p>And there were the new tenants who had come,<br/>
By doors that were left open unawares,<br/>
Into his house, and were so much at home<br/>
There now that he would hardly have to guess,<br/>
By the slow guile of their vindictiveness,<br/>
What ultimate insolence would soon be theirs.<br/></p>
