TREASURE SONG by AGNES MARY F. ROBINSON

First Line: THE MISER LOVES TO COUNT HIS STORE
Last Line: SO DEAR, AND ONLY SEEMING!
Subject(s): DREAMS; WEALTH; NIGHTMARES; RICHES; FORTUNES;

THE miser loves to count his store
Of barren ducats o'er and o'er:
Above all pomp or pleasure
He loves his golden treasure.

And I do love to count alone
A useless treasure of mine own
Heigho! Delights of dreaming,
So dear, and only seeming!
