ARE YOU SO POOR?, by                    
First Line: Are you so poor? But in the past
Last Line: To find, is left.
Alternate Author Name(s): Le Bailly, Mrs.
Subject(s): Happiness; Past; Time; Joy; Delight


ARE you so poor? But in the past
You have a childhood left asleep;
And joys that last,
In their own moments folded fast;
And songs that their first silence keep.

Are you so poor with none to sing?
Is joy the theft
Of Time beyond remembering?—
Ah then,—the lost, a fairer thing
To find, is left.
