< < < I found the phrase to every thought
I Had a Guinea Golden > > >

I gained it so

I gained it so,

       By climbing slow,

By catching at the twigs that grow

Between the bliss and me.

       It hung so high,

       As well the sky

       Attempt by strategy.

I said I gained it, —

       This was all.

Look, how I clutch it,

       Lest it fall,

And I a pauper go;

Unfitted by an instant’s grace

For the contented beggar’s face

I wore an hour ago.
