Pebbles and Shells (Hawkes collection)/A Heart of Gold
A HEART OF GOLD
A beggar by the roadside sat him down,
His clothes were poor, he had a heart of gold,
Upon his throne there was a mighty king,
His robes were fair, his heart was hard and cold.
Which would you love, the beggar or the king?
One was a man—the other, well—a thing.
