FAIRY GOLD
Men sweat beneath the noonday sun To dig for precious yellow gold, Then store it when the task is done In vaults beneath the earth so cold; Securely it is put away, And seldom sees the light of day. Sun-drenched, stands up my fairy gold, Bravely, for all the worlj to see. And no one knows what joy untold These glowing blossoms bring to me; The secret happiness that comes With clumps of gold chryanthemums. —Jean M. Robinson, in the “Sydney Morning Herald.”
