I gave my Gold to my King,
He rejected it with a venomous sting.
I gave my Diamond to my Queen,
She treated it as though it was something unclean,
I gave my Ruby to my Prince,
His reaction only made me wince.
I gave my Sapphire to my Princess,
Her reaction was by far the worst.
I gave my Silver to the court jester,
His treatment of it was no better.
Saddened, alone and let down,
I quickly left the castle ground.
I found a Pauper on the street,
And laid my jewels down at his feet.
He smiled at what he saw,
Perhaps because he found in them no flaw.
He gathered them & held them close to his chest,
At last! I'd found someone who'd appreciate them best.
