The Hotel Bar.
A bar to heaven, a. door to hell,
Whoever named it, named it wdl.
A bar to manliness and wealth,
A door to want and broken health;
A bar to honor, pride and fame,
A door to sin and grief and shame;
A bar to hope, a bar to prayer,
A door to darkness and despair;
A bar to honored, useful life,
A door to brawling, senseless strife;
A bar to all that's true and brave,
A door to every drunkard's grave;
A bar to joys that hme imparts,
A door to tears and aching hearts;
A bar to heaven, a door to hell,
hoever named it, name it well.
