First Line: The host, he says that all is well

Alternate Author Name(s): Crane, Hart
Subject(s): Friendship


The host, he says that all is well,
And the fire-wood glow is bright;
The food has a warm and tempting smell,—
But on the window licks the night.

Pile on the logs. ... Give me your hands,
Friends! No,—it is not fright. ...
But hold me ... somewhere I heard demands. ...
And on the window licks the night.
