Diamonds in a Cloudy Sky

When asked about the last eclipse
The lass had only one reply:
“To me it seemed the gods had fastened
Diamonds in a cloudy sky.”

And ever since, when daylight dimmed
A hopeful head she’d raise up high
But ne’er again on earth did she see
Diamonds in a cloudy sky.

Of course, one day she passed away
And she told her loved ones not to cry
The next eclipse, they’ll find her there,
A diamond in a cloudy sky.

Her name didn’t happen to be Lucy, by any chance?

I was wondering when Lucy’s name would come up.

didn’t think it would take very long :laughing:

It originally was in the second line,
but didn’t fit the meter very well.
