Nature
A Million Little Diamonds
From An American Anthology, 1787–1900, ed. Edmund Clarence Stedman (1900)
Nature
A million little diamonds
Twinkled on the trees;
And all the little maidens said:
“A jewel, if you please!”
But while they held their hands outstretched,
To catch the diamonds gay,
A million little sunbeams came,
And stole them all away.
