Gold And Silver Poem by Harley White

Gold And Silver

Rating: 5.0


[Song Lyric]

Gold and silver, silver and gold—
Brightly gleaming treasures untold—
Everywhere my eyes behold
Gold and silver, silver and gold.

Silken curtains, lacily fringed—
Satin pillows, rosily tinged—
Precious jewels a thousand-fold—
Gold and silver, silver and gold.

Once upon an evening star
I wished for riches— here they are.
Such a razzle-dazzle display
Takes a lassie's breath away!

Velvet gowns embroidered with pearls,
Sure to wow the wealthiest girls—
What surprises life can hold—
Gold and silver, silver and gold!
