NEIGHBOR by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: FULL MANY A HEEDLESS FELLOW MAN
Last Line: "O LANDLORD, I'LL REPAY."
Subject(s): NIGHT; BEDTIME;

Full many a heedless fellow man
Had passed him on the way,
But Night, the Good Samaritan,
Beholding where he lay,
Upbore him to the Inn of Sleep,
And there I heard him say,
"Whate'er the charges of his keep,
O Landlord, I'll repay."
