WATER JEWELS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: A million little diamonds
Last Line: And stole them all away.
Subject(s): Ice


A MILLION little diamonds
Twinkled on the trees;
And all the little maidens said:
"A jewel, if you please!"
But while they held their hands outstretched,
To catch the diamonds gay,
A million little sunbeams came,
And stole them all away.
