Poet Analysis

First Line: A DIAMOND OR A COAL
Last Line: WHAT TIME THE WATERS FREEZE.
Subject(s): DIAMONDS;

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.
