Grasps in the comer: the welcome ever smiles,
And farewell goes out sighing.”

How glad I was he had come like a guest in quiet, to drink at my

And depart peaceful, pacified, and thankless,
Into the burning bowels of this earth?”

But he with a chuckle replied
That maybe it couldnt, but he would be one
Who wouldnt say so till hed tried.”
