Leaving Therapia

 

Good-bye to Therapia & joys of the hotel -

Good dinners that make you exultingly swell,

Good beds that refresh you from the toil of the day

Fine sights near which you'd wish ever to stay -

To all these good things the time is well nigh

            I must bid a Good-Bye!

 

However Calikioy's opposite shore

I must hail tho' by far more simple & poor:

But they say what is simple is good at the heart

And where goodness is we may well spare art:

So at humble Calikioy let us not rail

            But bid it All Hail!
