He had words or smiles for them all, His friends, his foes and-the rest; But for one that he loved, no word, No smile, not a cool hand pressed, Nor a sigh: but an empty jest. Yet there at the hearth of his heart The fire burned, warm and wide, While the welcome upon his lips, For the guest who did not abide, Stammered, and sobbed, and died. -From Harper's Weekly.
