Object of alchemists' desire,
metal of medals,
of fleece and fleecing.
As a rule it does
like no other,
leaving aside
calves or laying geese.
All that has been
dug from the Earth
in thousands of years
would fit in a few
swimming pools.
If all sold it could buy up
all of Manhattan
and all of Florida
a couple of times over.
However,
Midas would tell you
other things glitter
more brightly.
