Poem - "I held a Jewel in my fingers" by Emily Dickinson

"I held a Jewel in my fingers" 
by Emily Dickinson

I held a Jewel in my fingers --


And went to sleep --

The day was warm, and winds were prosy --
I said "'Twill keep" --

I woke -- and chid my honest fingers,


The Gem was gone --

And now, an Amethyst remembrance
