XIX.
I
HAD
A
GUINEA
GOLDEN.
I
had
a
guinea
golden;
I
lost
it
in
the
sand,
And
though
the
sum
was
simple,
And
pounds
were
in
the
land,
Still
had
it
such
a
value
Unto
my
frugal
eye,
That
when
I
could
not
find
it
I
sat
me
down
to
sigh.
I
had
a
crimson
robin
Who
sang
full
many
a
day,
But
when
the
woods
were
painted
He,
too,
did
fly
away.
Time
brought
me
other
robins,
—
Their
ballads
were
the
same,
—
Still
for
my
missing
troubadour
I
kept
the
'house
at
hame.'
I
had
a
star
in
heaven;
One
Pleiad
was
its
name,
And
when
I
was
not
heeding
It
wandered
from
the
same.
And
though
the
skies
are
crowded,
And
all
the
night
ashine,
I
do
not
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
mournful
ditty,
Accompanied
with
tear,
Shall
meet
the
eye
of
traitor
In
country
far
from
here,
Grant
that
repentance
solemn
May
seize
upon
his
mind,
And
he
no
consolation
Beneath
the
sun
may
find.
NOTE.
—
This
poem
may
have
had,
like
many
others,
a
personal
origin.
It
is
more
than
probable
that
it
was
sent
to
some
friend
travelling
in
Europe,
a
dainty
reminder
of
letter-writing
delinquencies.
