The Black Riders & Other Lines/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.
