This diamond shines brighter still in my eyes
As though I sculpt or polish with these hands
It is thee that comes with constant surprise
Love brings all yet only what love demands

And through my care you shine the greater still
A star among this mortal flesh made whole
Honed and shaped with the greatest of my skill
‘tis art to handle such a priceless soul

The beauty of you still shines all the more
Precious gem as I gaze deeper within
A flawless work that need not be adorned
To do so would be the worst kind of sin

Oh how this diamond burns my eyes tonight
Yet I plead, do not extinguish thy light
