Dew shines like diamonds
\nAnd catches the sun drops gold
\nBright ripples of silver
\nAcross the river folds.<\/p>\n

Emerald shines the forest
\nWith a lapis flower floor
\nBronze trunks like pillars
\nFrame the woodland door.<\/p>\n

Pearls upon the water,
\nThe lilies weave and dance.
\nThe Fairies catch their glory
\nTheir halls to enhance.<\/p>\n

Topaz and opal fire
\nShimmer gleam and shine
\nAs sunset\u2019s burning rapture
\nGrace the Fae with the divine.<\/p>\n
