Analysis of Not All That Glitters Is Gold.



Not All That Glitters Is Gold,

It Fits, Referencing A Garden, As He Certainly Is Old,

His Choice Of Speech Is Anything But Bold,

But Even I Know, Not All That Glitters, Is Gold,

When It Is Ground, It Appears Like The Snowy Cold,

When Crafted From, I Know The Gold Is Rolled,

But I DO Know, That If There IS Anything Nice In This World, It Certainly... Is Gold,

But Even I Know, That Not All That Glitters... Is Gold.
