My Parents

6Gold! Gold! Gold! Gold!

Bright and yellow, hard and cold,

Molten, graven, hammered, and rolled;

Heavy to get, and light to hold;

Hoarded, bartered, bought, and sold,

Stolen, borrowed, squandered, doled;

Spurned by the young, but hugged by the old

To the very verge of the churchyard mould;

Price of many a crime untold;

Gold! Gold! Gold! Gold!

Good or bad a thousand fold!

—Thomas Hood
