In the night within your eyes Where blackness tells no lie A hand was seen to fall As it reached up for the sky. All fingers had a ring And each with nine stones set Around. a halo shone where truth and beauty met. The first ring made of clay Is old and cracked and worn The stones are loose and rattle Like a window in a storm. The next ring of fire That ticks around each gem The centre glows with molten gold That dies and lives again. The third ring's watery flow Is deep and clear and green Jewels like sunny islands Reflecting in a stream. The fourth rings with the wind As Chinese bells are blow All nine stones in orbit spin Destiny unknown. In the night within your eyes Where blackness tells no lie A hand was seen to soar As it tell down from the sky.16th Century Greensleeves
