Upon an office stool he sat.
And figured with his pen
His pen was new, his years were few'
His weekly wage was ten,
But still he scribbled patiently.
AnC never said a word;
And the cinking OF the dollars was
The only sound he heard.
His raise came-and another
But still he scratched away:
When he had made his pile, he said,
He'd take a holiday.
Yet, while the songs OF Springtlme
The souls OF lovers stirred,
The clinking OF the dollars was
The only sound he heard.
And summers fed. and winters,
= And love came straying by;
He closed his ears, as one who hears
sirens melody;
And out among the meadows
There caroled many bird
But the clinking OF the dollars
Was the only sound he heard.
Age crept up in the nighttime,
And bowed his busy head;
His eyes grew dim. each stiffening limb
Was weighed as with lead,
WAS that Deaths echoing footstep?
Nay-'us thought absuru'
(For the cinking Of the dollars
Was the only sound he heard)
Sad voices chant a requiem,
And still he does not hear;
Great earth-clods fall upon his pail,
But trouble not his ear;
And even the Choir Celestial
Won't wake the senses blurred
BY the clinking OF the dollars
The only sound he heard.
