Your Long Golden Hair

Your long golden hair is worth more than

all of the diamonds in the richest mine

Or all the pearls in all the necklaces,

all of the necklaces put in a line

But as you bathe in this sunlit dream

you know that nothing is what it seems

Your long golden hair is worth more than the

gold all the gold in the mines richest seams

Or all the countless hours the dreams

that poets do dream

Your long golden hair will lie with your

corpse buried in the pure white snow

Your long golden hair will continue toeven when you soul

does go
