"Riches of the Earth" My emeralds are the forests dark Where ancient wonders dwell Or fields of green where lovers walk Enthralled by ardor’s spell My sapphires are the oceans deep Reflecting summers skies Or glances of affection from A lover’s clear blue eyes My rubies shine within the hearth When flames are burning low While by my side my lover sleeps Her peaceful face aglow In nature are my riches found In air, and earth, and sea And in the one I’ve come to love And who, in turn, loves me AMdG "My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends--it gives a lovely light!" -Edna St. Vincent Millay |
