A diamond so perfect 1t couldn't be

He wrote out his order in somewhat
this way.
Dear Chemist; Please make me the

That n prosperous wine merchant

And Id like a brief statement of what

But to bartcnders' diamonds I've given

There are some OF pure white, like
the finest OF pearls;
These are made from the souls Of the
boys and the girls
Whose paths were at first with bright

TIL their feet led them into the open

The clear, crystal ones are of woman

Condensed from the pitiful anguish of
