Quatrains
Hospitality
Whether my house is dark or bright,
I close it not on any wight,
Lest Thou, hereafter, King of Stars,
Against me close Thy Heavenly bars.
If from a guest who shares thy board
Thy dearest dainty thou shalt hoard,
’Tis not that guest, O never doubt it,
But Mary’s Son shall do without it.
