the dusky twilight
doesn't need a twinkling necklace
the gurgling brook
doesn't need a tinkling anklet
the bright moon
doesn't need a brilliant diamond
and my beautiful wife
doesn't need any precious jewels
so wrote the poet.
so sang the singer.
but dear life,
show me the woman
who'd marry her man
without a solitaire.
