Alexandrite

Марк Стоуни
Alexandrite

Nice day is hot and filled with light
The night of stars is cold and silent
Thy shiny look is green as emerald
Thy beauty is clear as the diamond

The play of greenish gleam reminds
The joy of summer leaves reflection
The color change keeps in the minds
Thy special name and cut perfection

Light greenish morning of thy heart
Will soon become the bloody night
The magic seems to be internal part
Of rare stone, which plays with light

The tiny jewel of the Russian earth
Shall be great part of family treasure
Czar’s name reminds its shiny birth
So thee can wear it for own pleasure
