"Write me, Sir, a node or Sonnet
Ere your glide away to bed
Truly I insist upon it-"
So my generous hostess said.
Sonnets take a lot of rimes
While a node needs only one;
I am off for other climes
And my visit here is done
Tis late too and the train
Leaves at seven tomorrow.
(To express regret is vain;
I am full of sorrow!)
Oh, how happy! Oh, how dear!
Oh, the discipline severe!
Oh the Kindness! Oh, the cheer.
Oh, the hospitality Sincere!
All those ohs they make a node
And its verse has gayly flowed
Nov begins November 'leven
'- - - - - - - - - - - Heaven
Please fill out the missing [...]
All that's [...] is hidden there!
