Guard Your Pearls

Let not the cares of everydayness Deface the your fair mien with woes, Your beauty shall outlive the throes Of scarcity and momentary anguish. The gold of your uncommon features Wins you a thousand bright tomorrows. Set your present struggles against your looks And you win the clash and forget the sorrows. From far men shall place their shingle at your feet Hoping to purchase choice gold with passing sand. Be not thoughtless to barter your queenly worth For the valueless gravel of the worthless land. Who at a loss ever sold their merchandise? They have honed their scam on charming girls With the spare of their ill-amassed grit, Their aim to vanish with their divine pearls.
