GOLD VS.. LOVE.

Shake out the hillowy silk.
Unfold the dainty lace.
Place a wreath in the gold of her hair,
Just over her flower-like face.
Fasten those gems on her arms.
And these. in her shell-like ears.
But heed not the mist DER her eyes
Which is gemming their blue with tears.
Trail the soft bridalveil
Till it covers her tear wet eyes,
But forget the proud mouths quivel
And her passion OF stifled sighs.
For out of the star-lit past.
Into the cleaning of now,
From the dull rust OF bygone years
Comes a face-and broken VOW.
But love. and handsome face
Are Just a dream of the past.
While money. and title, and land
Are the things that give one caste.
Then bring forth the tottering groom.
So wrinkled. and bald, and old,
But forget that the shrinking bride
Has bartered herself for gold.
Yes. bring forth the trembling groom
And forget the sweet dead past.
For money. and title. and land
Are the thugs that give one caste.
