XIX.
I
HAD
A
GUINEA
GOLDEN.
I
had
a
golden
guinea;
I
lost
it
in
the
sand,
And
though
it
was
a
small
sum,
And
pounds
were
in
the
land,
It
had
such
value
to
me
That
when
I
couldn't
find
it
I
sat
down
to
sigh.
I
had
a
red
robin
Who
sang
many
days,
But
when
the
woods
changed
color
He
also
flew
away.
Time
brought
other
robins,
—
Their
songs
were
the
same,
—
Still
for
my
missing
singer
I
kept
the
'house
at
home.'
I
had
a
star
in
heaven;
One
Pleiad
was
its
name,
And
when
I
wasn't
watching
It
wandered
from
the
same.
And
though
the
sky
is
full,
And
all
the
night
is
bright,
I
don't
care
about
it,
Since
none
of
them
are
mine.
My
story
has
a
moral:
I
have
a
missing
friend,
—
Pleiad
its
name,
and
robin,
And
guinea
in
the
sand,
—
And
when
this
sad
song,
With
tears,
meets
a
traitor's
eye
In
a
faraway
land,
May
deep
regret
seize
his
mind,
And
he
find
no
comfort
Under
the
sun.
NOTE.
—
This
poem
may
have
had,
like
many
others,
a
personal
origin.
It
is
more
than
probable
that
it
was
sent
to
some
friend
traveling
in
Europe,
a
gentle
reminder
of
letter-writing
delays.
