Poems (Hazlett-Bevis)/Pearls
Pearls.
There was silence in Heaven, and listening, The angels heard moans Come from the Earth, and saw glistening, Tears on bare stones. As they looked, softly moonlight fell o'er them, And changed them most rare Into beautiful, costly and dainty gems, Fit for queens' wear. Then with the seal of His hand, Through the air whirls The word for our tears, the Father Sanctioned them Pearls.
