COWSLIP-GOLD, by                     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!
