AUTUMN GOLD by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: DEATH IN THE HOUSE, AND THE GOLDEN-ROD
Last Line: SUCH WEALTH OF GOLD?
Subject(s): GOLDENROD;

DEATH in the house, and the golden-rod
A-bloom in the field!
O blossom, how, from the lifeless clod,
When the fires are out and the ashes cold,
Doth a vein that the miners know not, yield
Such wealth of gold?
