"A SEAT for three, where host and guest May side-by-side pass toast or jest; And be their number two or three, With elbow-room and liberty, What need to wander east or west? "A book for thought, a nook for rest, And meet for fasting or for fest, In fair and equal parts to be A seat for three. "Then give you pleasant company, For youth or elder shady tree; A roof for council or sequest, A corner in a homely nest; Free, equal, and fraternally, A seat for three." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE MAD MAID'S SONG by ROBERT HERRICK ON GROWING OLD by JOHN MASEFIELD YOUR LAD, AND MY LAD by RANDALL PARRISH AN ARMOURY by ALCAEUS OF MYTILENE IDYLL 16.
