I CAME TO A ROADSIDE DWELLING by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: I came to a roadside dwelling
Last Line: But I could not stay so long.
Subject(s): HOSPITALITY; TRAVEL;
I came to a roadside dwelling,
With great eaves low and wide,
Asking my way to the village,
And they bade me step inside.
Welcome and cheer they gave me, -
Were comrades loving and strong;
And they bade me wait for supper,
But I could not stay so long.
