Christina Georgina Rossetti - A Diamond Or A Coal?

2014-11-10 137 Dailymotion

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.

Christina Georgina Rossetti
