UNIT 2.6 MONEY BY WILLIAM H. DAVIES.ACTIVITY SHEETS FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS.
When
I had money, money, O!
I
knew no joy till I went poor;
For
many a false man as a friend
Came
knocking all day at my door.
Then
felt I like a child that holds
A
trumpet that he must not blow
Because
a man is dead; I dared
Not
speak to let this false world know.
Much
have I thought of life, and seen
How
poor men’s hearts are ever light;
And
how their wives do hum like bees
About
their work from morn till night.
So,
when I hear these poor ones laugh,
And
see the rich ones coldly frown
Poor
men, think I, need not go up
So
much as rich men should come down.
When
I had money, money, O!
My
many friends proved all untrue;
But
now I have no money, O!
My
friends are real, though very few.
