TH INN BY THE WOOD by WILLIAM WATSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE RANK RAW MIST CLUNG CLOSE LIKE A HOOD
Last Line: AND I SUPPED LIKE A KING AT THE INN BY THE WOOD.
Subject(s): FORESTS; HOTELS; WOODS; INNS; INNSKEEPERS; MOTELS; BOARDING HOUSES;
THE rank raw mist clung close like a hood,
But warm was the hearth at the Inn by the Wood;
And I supped right well, and the ale was good,
And comely the Maid of the Inn by the Wood.

Though the rank raw mist clung close like a hood,
The logs burned bright at the Inn by the Wood;
And a fair fat sirloin before me stood,
And I supped like a King at the Inn by the Wood.
