Because twas Riches I Could Own

Emily Dickinson

1093

Because 'twas Riches I could own,
Myself had earned it-Me,
I knew the Dollars by their names-
It feels like Poverty

An Earldom out of sight to hold,
An Income in the Air,
Possession-has a sweeter chink
Unto a Miser's Ear-

(C) Emily Dickinson
