A Rhyme of Deaths Inn
A
My love came to that door;
And she had need of many things,
The way had been so sore.
“And is there room?” said she;
“There was no room in Bethlehem’s inn
For Christ who died for me.”
“His name is on the door.”
My love then straightway entered there:
She hath come back no more.
