A man saw a ball of gold in the sky; - Stephen Crane

<< prev. poem	Poems by Stephen Crane: 8 / 115	next poem >>

A man saw a ball of gold in the sky;

A man saw a ball of gold in the sky;
He climbed for it,
And eventually he achieved it --
It was clay.

Now this is the strange part:
When the man went to the earth
And looked again,
Lo, there was the ball of gold.
Now this is the strange part:
It was a ball of gold.
Aye, by the heavens, it was a ball of gold.
