The Inn-Keeper
I had to send that pair away – they do not pay and trade is trade and money too I say.
And yet that girl – she shivered in the doorway there and once she raised her eyes to mine and smiled I could have knelt I swear But some lout made a call for wine and broke the spell I turned then from my door and I did well
Two merchants took the great room overhead That’s my policy I buy and sell and keep my pity for the dead
And yet that girl – that girl – she turned and looked and fairer than before and went away
as if she walked with emperors and was a queen and all the world was hers.
