by Lizette Woodworth Reese
 A rhyme of good Death's inn!
 My love came to that door;
And she had need of many things,
 The way had been so sore.

My love she lifted up her head,
 "And is there room?" said she;
"There was no room in Bethlehem's inn
 For Christ who died for me."

But said the keeper of the inn,
 "His name is on the door."
My love then straightway entered there:
 She hath come back no more.



by Lizette Woodworth Reese
 Love came back at fall o' dew,
Playing his old part;
But I had a word or two
That would break his heart.

"He who comes at candlelight,
That should come before,
Must betake him to the night
From a barred door."

This the word that made us part
In the fall o' dew;
This the word that brake his heart --
Yet it brake mine, too.
