Who Buys? Who Buys? 'Tis Like A Market-Fair

Title:     Who Buys? Who Buys? 'Tis Like A Market-Fair
Author: Helen Hunt Jackson [More Titles by Jackson]

Who buys? Who buys? 'Tis like a market-fair;
The hubbub rises deafening on the air:
The children spend their honest money there;
The knaves prowl out like foxes from a lair.

Who buys? Who sells? Alas, and still alas!
The children sell their diamond stones for glass;
The knaves their worthless stones for diamonds pass.
He laughs who buys; he laughs who sells. Alas!

[The end]
Helen Hunt Jackson's poem: Who Buys? Who Buys? 'Tis Like A Market-Fair
