Eugene Field - Old Dutch Love SongEugene Field - Old Dutch Love Song
Work rating: Low


I am not rich, and yet my wealth     Surpasseth human measure;       My store untold       Is not of gold     Nor any sordid treasure.   Let this one hoard his earthly pelf,     Another court ambition--       Not for a throne       Would I disown     My poor and proud condition!   The worldly gain achieved to-day     To-morrow may be flying--       The gifts of kings       Are fleeting things--     The gifts of love undying!   In her I love is all my wealth--     For her my sole endeavor;       No heart, I ween,       Hath fairer queen,     No liege such homage, ever!
