I speak of wealth –
of golden hearts and golden time
Wherever I am is grandeur –
golden sunrise, golden grains
goldenrods, golden shrines
I am the magic of August nights
when fireflies flit about
In the gloom of winter nights
I bring hope twinkling from the heights
Truly, I am beauty
and treasure much desired
a desire that need be reined
as old King Midas
painfully learned
