Where is not something wanting here on earth?

Here this—there that: of gold is here the dearth.

It cannot from the floor be scrap'd, 'tis true;

But what lies deepest wisdom brings to view.

In mountain-veins, walls underground,

Is gold, both coined and uncoined, to be found.

And if ye ask me—bring it forth who can?

Spirit-and nature-power of gifted man.
