I held a Jewel in my fingers by Emily Dickinson Lyrics
245
I held a Jewel in my fingers
And went to sleep
The day was warm, and winds were prosy
I said "'Twill keep"
I woke—and chid my honest fingers
The Gem was gone
And now, an Amethyst remembrance
Is all I own
I held a Jewel in my fingers
And went to sleep
The day was warm, and winds were prosy
I said "'Twill keep"
I woke—and chid my honest fingers
The Gem was gone
And now, an Amethyst remembrance
Is all I own
