I had a guinea golden
I lost it in the sand
And tho' the sum was simple
And pounds were in the land
Still, had it such a value
Unto my frugal eye
That when I could not find it
I sat me down to sigh
I had a crimson Robin
Who sang full many a day
But when the woods were painted
He, too, did fly away
Time brought me other Robins
Their ballads were the same
Still, for my missing Troubadour
I kept the "house at hame."
I had a star in heaven
One "Pleiad" was its name
And when I was not heeding
It wandered from the same
And tho' the skies are crowded
And all the night ashine
I do not care about it
Since none of them are mine
I had a guinea golden
I lost it in the sand
And tho' the sum was simple
And pounds were in the land
Still, had it such a value
Unto my frugal eye
That when I could not find it
I sat me down to sigh
I had a crimson Robin
Who sang full many a day
But when the woods were painted
He, too, did fly away
Time brought me other Robins
Their ballads were the same
Still, for my missing Troubadour
I kept the "house at hame."
I had a star in heaven
One "Pleiad" was its name
And when I was not heeding
It wandered from the same
And tho' the skies are crowded
And all the night ashine
I do not care about it
Since none of them are mine
