Touched by Gold <br /> <br /> In days of yore<br /> On this shore so dear<br /> To one fair spot<br /> We would repair<br /> <br /> To Brigus Hills<br /> Our heartfelt home<br /> In summer times<br /> We loved to roam<br /> <br /> In early years<br /> Men moiled for gold<br /> In rock outcrop<br /> Behind our fold<br /> <br /> In those old times<br /> It was pick and shovel<br /> No modern tools<br /> One worked with trouble <br /> <br /> Large holes carved out<br /> Of solid rock<br /> To access gold<br /> So deftly stocked <br /> <br /> The trace of work<br /> It still remains<br /> When one climbs up<br /> To check those claims<br /> <br /> No mining now<br /> The tales grow old<br /> Of times long past <br /> When touched by gold<br /> <br /> John Cornick<br /> Halifax, Nova Scotia<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />   Submitted By: John Cornick
