The sapphire blue water
The emerald green trees
The ruby red flowers
The white snowy geese
The sparkling pearly dew
That’s pleasant to the view
The golden-yellow sand
That’s found in every land
The coal-black sky on high
Which gets star-punched by and by
The sequined veil of night
A beauteous, lovely sight.
The jade-green grass that nods
The gay green young pea pods
The cold, gray dusty roads
The jewels on the toads
Each has a beauty of its own
Which is indeed precious and rare
For without these enchanting, bejeweled hues
the world would seem so dull and bare.
