Poet Analysis

First Line: STRANGER AND TRAVELLER
Last Line: DRINK, AND IN HIS PEACE GO!
Subject(s): FOUNTAINS; GOD;

STRANGER and traveller,
Drink freely and bestow
A kindly thought on her
Who bade this fountain flow,
Yet hath no other claim
Than as the minister
Of blessing in God's name.
Drink, and in His peace go!
