XL
I never lost as much but twice,
And that was in the sod;
Twice have I stood a beggar
Before the door of God!
And that was in the sod;
Twice have I stood a beggar
Before the door of God!
Angels, twice descending,
Reimbursed my store.
Burglar, banker, father,
I am poor once more!
Reimbursed my store.
Burglar, banker, father,
I am poor once more!
