JEWELS
EMERALD, ruby, amethyst,Sardius, beryl, topaz, jade;All the ramparts round high HeavenOf these shining stones are made.But to beggars who must trudgeParched roads with weary feet,God has flung His jewels downIn the very city street.In this meager dusty squareLindens bud in emerald mistLilacs burdened with perfumeBloom in heavenly amethyst.Here is water crystal clear,Virgin jade is not more green.At the pool’s edge Judas treesStarred with ruby blossoms lean.Emerald, topaz, amethyst,Glittering unearthly bright,Scattered by the hand of God,Beryl, sardius, chrysolite.
