<span style="margin-left: 2em;">They are ashamed who leave so soon</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 2em;">The Inn of Grief—who thought to stay</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 2em;">Through many a faithful sun and moon,</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 3em;">Yet tarry but a day.</span><br/>
<br/>
<span style="margin-left: 2em;">Shame-faced I watch them pay the score,</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 2em;">Then straight with eager footsteps press</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 2em;">Where waits beyond its rose-wreathed door</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 3em;">The Inn of Happiness.</span><br/>
<br/>
<span style="margin-left: 2em;">I wish I did not know that here,</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 2em;">Here too—where they have dreamed to stay</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 2em;">So many and many a golden year</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 3em;">They lodge but for a day.</span><br/>
