I will not change my path with you,
O worshippers of gold!
My path is rough, but heaven-lit,
And yours is smooth, but cold.

In your resplendent halls each night
The ghost of envy strides,
While in the castle of my heart
The living God resides.

My heart is young, though youth is gone;
Your hearts in youth are old;
I will not change one golden dream
For all your dreams of gold.
