The ball-room was filled
with fash-ion's throng,
It shone with a thous-and lights;
And there was a wom-an who passed a-long,
The fair-est of all the sights.
A girl to her lov-er then soft-ly sighed,
"There's rich-es at her com-mand."
"But she mar-ried for wealth,
not for love," he cried!
"Though she lives in a man-sion grand."
"She's on-ly a bird in a gild-ed cage,
A beau-ti-ful sight to see.
You may think she's hap-py and free from care,
She's not, though she seems to be.
'Tis sad when you think of her wast-ed life
For youth can-not mate with age;
And her beau-ty was sold
for an old man's gold,
She's a bird in a gild-ed cage."
