Jewels

White diamonds sparkle in the sand And speckle darkened skies Green em`ralds flash in glist`ning seas Then glint in envious eyes Blue sapphires dance in wand`ring streams To shine in summer`s hue With amethyst in heather set In lavender there too Bright rubies sway in poppy fields To glow in fires of red Are captured in the flow of blood From heroes lying dead Then pearls so lustre in the clouds As through the sun defined Whilst topaz sets my heart aglow In fields of corn entwined The golden lambent sunshine glows When risen high at noon With misty robes of silver then Soft draped around the moon Such beauty lingers `pon the earth On mother nature`s gown These burnished jewels yet deeply set In her adorning crown
