<h3 id="Gold">Gold</h3>
<p>WHEN life wakened in the Spring<br/>
All the world was gold and green!<br/>
Sunlight lay on everything,<br/>
Sailing cloud and soaring wing,<br/>
Emerald banks where snow had been,<br/>
Drifts of daffodils between.</p>
<p>When Life’s pulse beat strong and high<br/>
Shone the world in gold and blue!<br/>
Canopied with turquoise sky<br/>
Summer passed superbly by,<br/>
Bluest midnight cupped the dew<br/>
Golden morn might sparkle through!</p>
<p>Now that life would rest again<br/>
Soft she lies in gold and brown,<br/>
Brown the fields and gold the grain,<br/>
Brown the little pools of rain,<br/>
Gold the leaves that falter down<br/>
To brown pavements in the town.</p>
