COWSLIP-GOLD, by CLINTON SCOLLARD Poet's Biography First Line: Rising from the murk and mould Last Line: Count my cowslip-gold! Subject(s): Gold; Wealth; Riches; Fortunes | ||||||||
RISING from the murk and mould, What a wealth of cowslip-gold! Just as if the noon had sown, Affluent, its ingots there; Just as if the sun had thrown Blazing jewels from its zone, Radiantly fair. This my precious Ophir is; This Golconda's treasuries; Coins of unsurpassed dye, Mine to have and mine to hold! Croesus counts his coffers; I, Underneath the open sky, Count my cowslip-gold! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALL LIFE IN A LIFE by EDGAR LEE MASTERS FOUR POEMS ABOUT JAMAICA: 3.
