Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHHIGGJHAKHLMN COPGHHQRSCT| I spent my day on the scorching | A |
| hot dust of the road | B |
| Now in the cool of the evening I | C |
| knock at the door of the inn It is | D |
| deserted and in ruins | E |
| A grim ashath tree spreads its | F |
| hungry clutching roots through the | G |
| gaping fissures of the walls | H |
| Days have been when wayfarers | H |
| came here to wash their weary feet | I |
| They spread their mats in the | G |
| courtyard in the dim light of the | G |
| early moon and sat and talked of | J |
| strange lands | H |
| They woke refreshed in the morning | A |
| when birds made them glad and | K |
| friendly flowers nodded their heads | H |
| at them from the wayside | L |
| But no lighted lamp awaited me | M |
| when I came here | N |
| The black smudges of smoke left by | C |
| many a forgotten evening lamp stare | O |
| like blind eyes from the wall | P |
| Fireflies flit in the bush near the | G |
| dried up pond and bamboo branches | H |
| fling their shadows on the grass | H |
| grown path | Q |
| I am the guest of no one at the end | R |
| of my day | S |
| The long night is before me and I | C |
| am tired | T |
