- Then once I found a diamond on my round;
- It had a different gleam from all the rest:
- I picked it up and brushed it off and found
- It more beautiful than all the others’ best.
- When I put it in my keep, it said to me,
- “You don’t know me; you’re better off without.”
- “I know just what you are and what can be;
- “Most wonderful,” said I, “without a doubt!”
- So you see, my Love, I know your soul and you,
- Though only knowing you for some short Time.
- That a diamond is a diamond, is most true;
- That you are you’s a fact that’s most sublime.
- I knew right from the start your heart was pure,
- So marry me: let love always endure!
