The Richest Stones
written by William Henry Davies
From "Ambition", 1929 Link to further information




My wandering days have run their course,
And Age is in my flesh and bones:
Of all the temples, domes, and towers,
Where have I found the richest stones?

The little house where I was born,
And where my early childhood lies,
Was built with solid blocks of gold,
And all its walls had diamond-eyes!
