GOLD

By Emily L. Canright

Gold, gold, gold— How people strive for gold! Shifting, changing, selling, buying, Cheating, stealing, betting, lying, Never enough, but ever crying, Gold, gold, gold.
Gold, gold, gold— Vain are the hopes on gold; Banks are breaking, factories burning, Fortune's wheels are ever turning, This sad lesson all are learning; Gold, gold, gold.
Gold, gold, gold— The great God offers gold, Purest gold tried in the fire, Buy it, all who may desire, Aye, buy it now ere time expire; Gold, gold, gold.
Gold, gold, gold— The future offers gold; For golden crowns the victors wear, And golden streets they'll tread when there, In Heaven's gold who would not share? Gold, gold, gold.
