A Diamond Or A Coal? · Christina Rossetti

Who Hath Despised The Day Of Small Things?

Christina Rossetti

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.
