It's a line from a song, it had a small... pause? I tried to show it with a comma.

I guess it'd be like the next line in a stanza, assuming that the song is written like a poem.

@Ouendan He's basically saying that he sees diamonds as just peices of glass. "For diamonds do appear to be" means that that's how he views diamonds, it makes sense, but wording like that isn't used too often.
