word cut diamond
diamond cut word
I heard an angel say
in a dismal time
what have they done
with the heart encrusted with pearls
the lily asides
the gilding of the trees;
have they banished light?
word cut diamond
diamond cut word
like a nursery rhyme I never heard
will the clouds part
revealing the Sun
or will we wander on-
intoning to the end
word cut diamond
diamond cut word
all hearts are cut so
in the end whispered the angel,
friend or no friend?
queried the children out of sight
or mind to a tune
they didn't know yet, really
