    The Prospector<br />
    <br />
    ‘There’s gold in them thar hills’<br />
    He presses forward another day<br />
    Each alluvial nugget yield<br />
    Compels him to incessantly further his way<br />
    <br />
    Though he daily the waters will scour<br />
    He has but limited inclination for<br />
    The grains of downstream fragments<br />
    Which glisten upon the rivers floor<br />
    <br />
    They offer him only the flavour<br />
    Of which they allude to lying ahead<br />
    That will put to rest the thoughts <br />
    Of such lesser enticing river bed<br />
    <br />
    It’s towards the far off mountains<br />
    That he makes his arduous crawl<br />
    His voracious fevered answer<br />
    In pursuit of her ceaseless call<br />
    <br />
    Sun-scorched, malnourished yet impervious<br />
    Nought he’d stumble across would deter<br />
    Should he fail - the ‘crazed megalomanic’<br />
    In success – ‘zealous entrepreneur’<br />
    <br />
    He knows the mountains conceal within <br />
    A rich and lustrous seam<br />
    He has caught in their dawning glory<br />
    Her beckoning golden gleam<br />
    <br />
    The day he steals upon her seclusion<br />
    She will the worth of her treasure convey<br />
    To transform worn weathered prospector<br />
    In a salubrious and resplendent display<br />
    <br />
    Though tonight in the still of the moonlight<br />
    The distant wolf-howl streams<br />
    An orchestrated wild-wood movement<br />
    To the prospector's golden dreams<br />
