Last Line: Unto a miser's ear
Variant Title(s): Poem: 1093; Poem: 105


Because 'twas Riches I could own,
Myself had earned it - Me,
I knew the Dollars by their names -
It feels like Poverty


An Earldom out of sight to hold,
An Income in the Air,
Possession - has a sweeter chink
Unto a Miser's Ear
