Removed from Accident of Loss

Removed from Accident of Loss
By Accident of Gain
Befalling not my simple Days —
Myself had just to earn —

Of Riches — as unconscious
As is the Brown Malay
Of Pearls in Eastern Waters —
Marked His — What Holiday

Would stir his slow conception —
Had he the power to dream
That but the Dower's fraction —
Awaited even — Him —
