Flint by Christina Rossetti

An emerald is as green as grass

A ruby red as blood;

A sapphire shines as blue as heaven:

A flint lies in the mud.

A diamond is a brilliant stone,

To catch the world’s desire;

An opal holds a fiery spark;

But a flint holds fire.

• An emerald is as green as grass

• A flint lies in the mud

• A ruby red as blood

• A sapphire shines as blue as heaven
