It's by James Whitcomb Riley!
WHAT delightful hosts are they—
Life & Love!
Lingeringly I turn away,
This late hour, yet glad enough
They have not withheld from me
Their high hospitality.
So, with face lit with delight
& all gratitude, I stay
Yet to press their hands & say,
"Thanks.—So fine a time! Good night."
Riley wrote that after listening to this week's Self Help Radio (only he did it sometime in the late 19th century - don't ask me how) (ask Doctor Who how!) which you can listen to like an old poet at selfhelpradio.net!
Be my guest. Really. Be my guest!
