welcome all with happiness

the task we find is never to set straight

those who come limping to the summer feast

in search of all the savours we released

 

we do not snarl or tell them they are late

their style and manner we have not policed

the task we find is never to set straight

 

rather our duty's to keep wide the gate

and grant full favour even to the least

admitting all until the night has ceased

the task we find is never to set straight
