Answer:
This poem uses common similes to describe precious stones. “Green as grass,” “red as blood,” and “blue as heaven” are typical, even unimaginative, ways to describe these gems.
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.

By having the ability to create fire, the flint is more valuable compared to the more attractive jewels that are not as useful.
