Poet Analysis

First Line: WHEN WE COUNT OUT OUR GOLD AT THE END OF THE DAY
Last Line: SAVE THE LOVE WE HAVE SHOWN TO THE CHILDREN OF MEN.
Subject(s): LOVE; MATERIALISM;

When we count out our gold at the end of the day,
And have filtered the dross that has cumbered the way;
Oh! What were the hold of our treasury then
Save the love we have shown to the children of men.
