Of stone how came they this old inn to rear, - When all the lowland shows no quarry near? A town or hamlet nestled here at first. Long ere the Turkish rule our land had cursed. (Poor Hungary, my wretched land, ah, me. How many yokes have been endured by thee!) 31 This ancient town was sacked by Osman's hordes, Who razed each house therein except the Lord's. The church remained, a ruin, it is true, *Still of our loss a mourner left to view. For centuries it stood thus, stood to mourn. Till at th...e last, by sorrow overborne. It fell, and, lest its stones should scattered be. They built the wayside inn which here you see. From God's house build an inn! and wherefore nay? One serves the body, one the soul, I say. Each in our being has an equal share. On each we must attend with duteous care. From God's house build an inn! and wherefore nay? Our life can please our God in either way. And purer hearts within an inn I've known. Than some who daily kneel before God's throne. Inn, fallen inn! when yet within thy door The travelers rested and enjoyed thy store.
