A SEAT FOR THREE: WRITTEN ON A SETTLE, by WALTER CRANE First Line: A seat for three, where host and guest Last Line: "a seat for three." Subject(s): Guests; Visiting | |||
"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...LEDA 2: A NOTE ON VISITATIONS by LUCILLE CLIFTON HELSINKI, 1940 by ANSELM HOLLO THE LOW BLACK SQUARE by ANSELM HOLLO AMUSING OUR DAUGHTERS by CAROLYN KIZER POET AND PERSON by DENISE LEVERTOV |
