Ode to an Indian Gola Coin in Cherical Malanar
A lyric poem reflects on a yellow slave coin bought with vanity. The speaker laments exile and heartbreak as memories of love friendship and country fade while the coin shines in a foreign land and hints at death. The piece contrasts wealth’s lure withward-morn regret.
