(Richard Cory) was always quietly arrayed,
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
“Good morning” and he glittered when he walked.

And he was rich – yes richer than a king –
And admirably schooled in every grace:
In fine, we thought that he was every thing
To make us wish that we were in his place.

So we worked and waited for the light,
And went without meat and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.
