I want to find out the name of the poem about the man who has everything he could ever want but in the end of the poem he kills himself because he isn't happy. Does anyone have any idea what this poem is or who wrote it?? I will love you forever if you do!!

Edwin Arlington Robinson, "Richard Corey:"

WHENEVER Richard Cory went down town,
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean favored, and imperially slim.

And he 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 everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.

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