Welcome, welcome, king' of guests, With thy princely train, With joyful triumphs and with feasts Be welcomed home again. Frolic mirth, The soul of earth, Shall watch for thy delight: Knees shall bend From friend to friend While full cups do thee right And so, great King, good-night. Welcome, welcome as the sun When the night is past: With us the day is now begun: May it for ever last. Such a morn Did ne'er adorn The roses of the East As the North Hath now brought forth: The Northern morn is best; And so, best King, good rest. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BANNER OF THE JEW by EMMA LAZARUS THE PICTURE OF LITTLE T.C.
