A man saw a ball of gold in the sky; <br />He climbed for it, <br />And eventually he achieved it -- <br />It was clay. <br /> <br />Now this is the strange part: <br />When the man went to the earth <br />And looked again, <br />Lo, there was the ball of gold. <br />Now this is the strange part: <br />It was a ball of gold. <br />Aye, by the heavens, it was a ball of gold.<br /><br />Stephen Crane<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-man-saw-a-ball-of-gold/
