Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DECE FGHG EICI JKCK| I came to the crowded Inn of Earth | A |
| And called for a cup of wine | B |
| But the Host went by with averted eye | C |
| From a thirst as keen as mine | B |
| - | |
| Then I sat down with weariness | D |
| And asked a bit of bread | E |
| But the Host went by with averted eye | C |
| And never a word he said | E |
| - | |
| While always from the outer night | F |
| The waiting souls came in | G |
| With stifled cries of sharp surprise | H |
| At all the light and din | G |
| - | |
| Then give me a bed to sleep I said | E |
| For midnight comes apace | I |
| But the Host went by with averted eye | C |
| And I never saw his face | I |
| - | |
| Since there is neither food nor rest | J |
| I go where I fared before | K |
| But the Host went by with averted eye | C |
| And barred the outer door | K |
