The Lost Jewel

Title:     The Lost Jewel
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

I held a jewel in my fingers
And went to sleep.
The day was warm, and winds were prosy;
I said: "'T will keep."

I woke and chid my honest fingers, --
The gem was gone;
And now an amethyst remembrance
Is all I own.

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Lost Jewel
