GOLD on gold, snow on snow, Height on height, row on row; Greater in number these Than the sands of the seas. Yea, past all counting far, Flower on flower, star on star, Dimpled shoulder, cheek of peach, As they lean each to each. Golden heads, brows of pearl, Oh, many a boy and girl, Oh, many a girl and boy, Mother's grief, mother's joy. But amid snow and gold, Gathered warm from the cold, Fairer than gold, more fine, Should be two that are mine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A WOMAN'S LAST WORD by ROBERT BROWNING LITTLE BROWN BABY by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR GOD'S WORLD by EDNA ST.
