Select the correct text in the passage.
Read "Riches" by Sara Teasdale. Which two lines in the poem contain metaphors?

I have no riches but my thoughts,
Yet these are wealth enough for me;
My thoughts of you are golden coins
Stamped in the mint of memory;
And I must spend them all in song,
For thoughts, as well as gold, must be
Left on the hither side of death
To gain their immortality.

She says that her thoughts of her loved one are so precious that is like “golden coins” and that these thoughts are inside her memory like it was a bank.

Answer: "I have no riches but my thoughts" and "My thoughts of you are golden coins."

Explanation: a metaphor is a figure of speech that consists in making a direct comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, in order to create an image in the reader's mind. In the given passage we can see two examples of metaphors, the first one is in the line "i have no riches but my thoughts" it compares thoughts to riches, and the second one is in the phrase "My thoughts of you are golden coins" which compares the thoughts to golden coins.
