When the foster children of wolves first pulled me
from the embrace of another
I was mistaken for white lead
Following the trail of tree resin
I became part of capturing your memories
keeping you nourished
and shielding others from corruption
Though I have a crystalline cry
the music your souls sing through me
far outshines the screams
Keep me warm and I’ll protect you
hold your notes pure
and cradle your remembrances
until there are no more reasons to weep

My Notes & Research Tools:
Obtained chiefly from cassiterite
1st bronze (tin/copper)
Pewter (tin/copper/antimony/lead), flatware
Silvery, malleable, poor metal, highly crystalline
Not easily oxidized in air, coat others, prevent corrosion
Tin cans (tinned)=mostly steel w/ tin coat
Bar of tin is bent, crackling sound known as the tin cry can be heard due to the twinning of the crystals
Tin disease/tin pest - long cold temps can cause disintegration
"White Lead" (plumbum dandidum- early Latin)
Trading followed Amber Road (Tree Resin Trail)
Tin Lizzy - Model T Ford
Tin fluoride known as stannous fluoride better at treating gingivitis
Most tonally resonant of all metals/pipe organs 50-50 tin/lead
