this squalor my main domain
in the rag wretchedness of poverty
and prosperity seems far delain
in the strong shack of bareness that withholds,
its dying human in mad misery;
there i find myself,an isle from diamonds,
and miles from gold;i travel in search
from rugged sandals traversing to find,
your rose blooming in deep winter of march
by fierce chill and far an ugly wind
that find me a poorly lover,and you
the only such trinkets i grace myself
than in wealth i find deep my gold mines in you,
i hope to delve and find your crude ore
in the rag wretchedness of poverty
and prosperity seems far delain
in the strong shack of bareness that withholds,
its dying human in mad misery;
there i find myself,an isle from diamonds,
and miles from gold;i travel in search
from rugged sandals traversing to find,
your rose blooming in deep winter of march
by fierce chill and far an ugly wind
that find me a poorly lover,and you
the only such trinkets i grace myself
than in wealth i find deep my gold mines in you,
i hope to delve and find your crude ore
