RED TREASURE, by CAROLYN AUSTIN First Line: If blessings could be bought with gold Last Line: I'd count each bleeding jewel blessed. | |||
If blessings could be bought with gold, And I in gems might coin my blood, For you I'd purchase every bliss, Right gladly would I pour its flood. Like dross I'd fling the rubies free, To you alone be it confessed; If this could win your heart for me, I'd count each bleeding jewel blessed. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ODE FOR MEMORIAL DAY by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR SWITZERLAND AND ITALY by RICHARD MONCKTON MILNES THE GREENWOOD SHRIFT; GEORGE III AND A DYING WOMAN IN WINDSOR FOREST by ROBERT SOUTHEY TO MY FIANCEE by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS BATUSCHKA by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH THE STEAM-ENGINE: CANTO 6.
