Poem by Christina Georgina 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.

1. Song (O roses for the flush of youth)
2. An Apple Gathering
3. In the Round Tower at Jhansi, June 8, 1857
4. A Peal of Bells
5. Love from the North
