|---|---|---|
| 1 | A moment of thinking is an hour of words. | Books |
| 2 | Gold! gold! gold! gold! Bright and yellow, hard and cold, Molten, graven, hammered and rolled; Heavy to get, and light to hold; Hoarded, bartered, bought, and sold. Stolen, borrowed, squandered, doled: Spurned by the young, but hugged by the old To the very verge of the churchyard mold; Price of many a crime untold: Gold! gold! gold! gold! Good or bad a thousand-fold! How widely its agencies vary,-- To save, to ruin, to curse, to bless,-- As even its minted coins express. Now stamped with the image of good Queen Bess, And now of a Bloody Mary. | Wealth |
| 3 | Oh! would I were dead now. Or up in my bed now, To cover my head now And have a good cry! | Tear |
| 4 | But evil is wrought by want of thought, As well as want of heart! | Sin |
| 5 | How bravely Autumn paints upon the sky The gorgeous fame of Summer which is fled! | Sky |
| 6 | There's not a string attuned to mirth But has its chord in melancholy. | Joy |
| 7 | Seemed washing his hands with invisible soap In imperceptible water. | Appearance |
