A Diamond Or A Coal? Poem by Christina Georgina Rossetti

A Diamond Or A Coal?

Rating: 2.7


A diamond or a coal?
A diamond, if you please:
Who cares about a clumsy coal
Beneath the summer trees?
A diamond or a coal?
A coal, sir, if you please:
One comes to care about the coal
What time the waters freeze.

Diamond or coal both are gold for one shines in ornaments and others in human kitchen. Beautiful.

The laws of value are quite puzzling, even a bottle of water can sell at the price of gold in the desert.nice poem and I like the whole concept
