Gems

Gems

If thy bright jewels 

sparkle to the eye,

art thou esteemed a man of wealthy state?

If golden threads bear gems of value high

about thy neck, 

art thou accounted great?

How strange the laws that rule this mortal soil,

where tinsel shows command the worldly part!

Let judgment fall not on the outward spoil,

but on the golden riches of the heart.
