GEMS.

EARTH hath its gems around! Creatures through ether winging, Flowers in glory springing, Dew-drops upon the ground; Sparks of the waterfall, insect's wings— Ay! and a million of beautiful things!
Sea hath its gems below! In grottos, to man forbidden, Marvelous treasures are hidden— Pearls and coralines grow; Deep and dark in the tombs of the wave, Jewels are hung in the palace and cave!
Heaven hath its gems above! Look! for its arch exalted With planets and stars is vaulted, Oh, what spirits may rove— Gems of the soul—through scenes like these, Learning eternity's mysteries!
