William Henry Davies - Money

When I had money, money, O! <br />I knew no joy till I went poor; <br />For many a false man as a friend <br />Came knocking all day at my door. <br />Then felt I like a child that holds <br />A trumpet that he must not blow <br />Because a man is dead; I dared <br />Not speak to let this false world know. <br />Much have I thought of life, and seen <br />How poor men’s hearts are ever light; <br />And how their wives do hum like bees <br />About their work from morn till night. <br />So, when I hear these poor ones laugh, <br />And see the rich ones coldly frown— <br />Poor men, think I, need not go up <br />So much as rich men should come down. <br />When I had money, money, O! <br />My many friends proved all untrue; <br />But now I have no money, O! <br />My friends are real, though very few.<br /><br />William Henry Davies<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/money-3/
