Treasure Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIJ| In my pocket only lint and a crumpled receipt | A |
| Yet the sky is free the wind a wealthy friend | B |
| No coin can measure the laughter on the street | A |
| Or buy the sun that rises without end | B |
| - | |
| What is gold but a fleeting glow | C |
| A treasure that tarnishes a flame that fades | D |
| It fills the hand but leaves hearts hollow | C |
| Its luster dims in life's quiet shades | D |
| - | |
| A king is poor when the heart is cold | E |
| His crown a burden his palace a cage | F |
| For wealth that costs a soul to hold | E |
| Turns youth to stone and joy to rage | F |
| - | |
| But see the beggar with songs to sing | G |
| No riches to count no debts to pay | H |
| His wealth lies in a sparrow s wing | G |
| In borrowed light of each new day | H |
| - | |
| Let not the shimmer of gold deceive | I |
| For love is wealth and time the spender | J |
| To hold the world we must believe | I |
| In treasures the heart alone can render | J |
