LXXII.

Lord knows where the reckless creature

Chose her transient stopping-place!

Swearing through the rainy weather,

Everywhere I seek her trace.

I have been to every tavern

Running up and running down,

And of every surly waiter

Made inquiries in the town.

Lo, I see her in yon window!

And she beckons--all is well!

Could I guess that you had chosen,

Lady, such a grand hotel?
