GOLDEN FREEDOM, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The love of money is a chain
Last Line: From its cramping misery!
Subject(s): Money


The love of money is a chain,
Binding souls to greedy pain.

The love of money is a jail,
Bare abode of Hunger pale.

The love of money is a czar,
Lord of slaves that wretches are.

The love of money is a wall,
Bleak and barren, strong and tall.

The love of money is a pit;
Foulest creatures live in it.

The love of money is a mine,
Where the sunbeams never shine.

Worst of all captivities,
That the love of money is.

Oh, be free, superbly free,
From its cramping misery!
