NEW GOLD, by                    
First Line: New gold that surges up the hollow
Last Line: New gold.
Subject(s): Apollo; Gold; Mythology - Classical; October


New gold that surges up the hollow,
A dash of verve for the wind to hold --
Not Midas' touch, but the lyre of Apollo,
New gold.

No miser has hoarded you, buccaneer bold
Never set sail, a star to follow
With piles of you stacked in his musty hold.

October calls to the homing swallow --
Etched in the stillness of air grown cold
Color is drifting, and frost will follow
New gold.
