FOOL'S GOLD, by MARGARET CLYDE ROBERTSON First Line: Men have lived and men have died Last Line: Sand beneath a microscope. Subject(s): Fools; Men; Idiots | |||
Men have lived and men have died Where the peaks are glorified, Never knowing that they trod On the golden hills of God; Never knowing stone and tree Symbolize Divinity. Eyes with money-narrowed lids Never see the pyramids. Sun-glint on a canyon wall, Aspen-glow and waterfall Are but trifles to a man Chasing colors in a pan. All of life and all of hope -- Sand beneath a microscope. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE VILLAGE IDIOT by EDWARD HIRSCH TWO SONGS OF A FOOL: 1 by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS TWO SONGS OF A FOOL: 2 by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS CRAZY JANE TALKS WITH THE BISHOP by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE FOOL'S ADVENTURE by LASCELLES ABERCROMBIE THE CASE OF ALBERT IRVING WILLIAMSON by FRANKLIN PIERCE ADAMS THE KEYSTONE by MARGARET CLYDE ROBERTSON |
