A Richer Man
Who would not desire coffers of gold,
Own sapphires and diamonds to wear on a ring.
Have emeralds and rubies and lustrous white pearls
For the pleasure of owning beautiful things.
But gemstones and gold mean nothing to me
For that which I treasure dims all the above,
Richer am I, than any man living
For who could be richer, than he who has love.
