Thought

    By Ralph Waldo Emerson



    I am not poor, but I am proud,
    Of one inalienable right,
    Above the envy of the crowd,--
    Thought's holy light.

    Better it is than gems or gold,
    And oh! it cannot die,
    But thought will glow when the sun grows cold,
    And mix with Deity.

    BOSTON, 1823.
