Blue of oceans
Shines the sapphire
On the necks of maidens
Gentle and fair.
Fire of the ages
Jeweled ashes rain
Like soft kisses
On tender skin.
Gem of midnight
Lacks white stars
To grace with light
A wondrous face.
Only rock, crystal
Is the glorious sapphire,
It's ancient heritage royal
It's mother, the night
