Tavern<\/h1>\n

by Edna St. Vincent Millay<\/p>\n

I’ll keep a little tavern
\nBelow the high hill’s crest,
\nWherein all grey-eyed people
\nMay set them down and rest.<\/p>\n

There shall be plates a-plenty,
\nAnd mugs to melt the chill
\nOf all the grey-eyed people
\nWho happen up the hill.<\/p>\n

There sound will sleep the traveller,
\nAnd dream his journey’s end,
\nBut I will rouse at midnight
\nThe falling fire to tend.<\/p>\n

Aye, ’tis a curious fancy?
\nBut all the good I know
\nWas taught me out of two grey eyes
\nA long time ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
