Christina Georgina Rossetti

Here you will find the Poem A Diamond Or A Coal? of poet Christina Georgina Rossetti

A Diamond Or A Coal?

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.
