The Price.

"Earth gets its price for what Earth gives us;
The beggar is taxed for a corner to die in.
The priest hath his fee who comes and shrives u.s.
We bargain for the graves we lie in. ~
At the DEVILS booth are all things sold,
Each ounce Of dross costs its ounce of gold;
For cap and bells our lives we pay
Bubbles we buy with whole SOULS tasking;
IT'S Heaven alone that is given away.
'Tis only God may be had for the asking;
No price is set on the lavish summer,
June may be had by the poorest comer.''
