Diamonds From the Moon

Of joyous jewels, your heart fulfill How lavish a gift of such an ore The moment surprize has sent a chill Through veins a newly opened door To platters handed evermore And diamonds fed on silver spoon Your grace has come from heaven’s chore Me? I’ll source my diamonds from the moon Said: take the glad and easy pill There’s so much more you’d best ignore For knowledge may have quelled the thrill That jewels are scattered on the floor Of earth’s bedrock if you’d explore Before the hands of men had hewn The rocks you preciously adore I’ll source my diamond from the moon There’s pride in diamond polisher’s skill To craft your gem without a flaw The hands that play a craftsman’s trill Between your hand and earths deep core And now you ask for even more For only platters make you swoon Grace for grace you’re looking for I’ll source my diamonds from the moon What use were diamonds that you wore? When adorned on you at gladdest noon Those granted diamonds, I abhor I’ll source my diamonds from the moon
