Jewels of the Sky |

Jewels of the Sky The sun begins to hide her face While slowly creeping down Then brandishes her brilliant jewels Upon a golden crown The spectrum disappears in time And darkness treads the ground The little stars come one by one And twinkle in their mirth Popping through the dark of space Reflecting on the earth The sky shows off a million diamonds Flaunting jems of worth The moon has but a subtle glow As she appears in space No timely yearn, she waits her turn And moves at lunar pace No jewels can quite compare to this: A halo round her face Elizabeth Santos 2/17/03 |

On your computer, you go to "View" and then use "Encoding" to select "Chinese Simplified (GB)". |
