Frozen tears, frozen tears,
diamonds, tear-dropp pearls.

Tears aflame, tears aflame,
garnets, rubies, red quartz.

Sad tears, blue tears,
sapphires, sad sapphires.

Jealous tears, envious tears,
chinese jade, emeralds.

Here, take this key,
this seal, this solder of gold.

Lock the jewel-case
of sorrows,
this repository
of aching hearts

and liquify the key.
