Flint By Christina Rossetti
370
Themes
The main theme in this poem is to not judge a book by its cover. The poem describes how all the gems are beautiful and shining, except for the flint that is unattractive and lies in the mud. Although the flint lies in mud and is overshadowed by the other more beautiful stones, it is the flint that holds fire. By having the ability to create fire, the flint is more valuable compared to the more attractive jewels that are not as useful.
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.
