Crane is a well digger as well as a jeweler and this short poem is meant to
include the solid geometry of a diamond as well as the disquieting depth of
a dry well. Behold ! The glittering diamond is down there in the bottom of
the well!

I don't think Crane is specifically adressing one single event. After
reading some of his poems I think he was changed by the wars he covered. I
do think there is some reference to culutral invasion, settlers, and
pirates but I belive the underlying message is that war is horrid and no
matter the situation it can only breed sin (and evil.)

This is a good poem (he can do way better) but it really needs more life to
it.

diffierent things to different people. So just except that its a great poem
and dont try to change others perspective.

I believe that this can represent any time one culture travels to another
culture and forces change apon it.
The "spear" representing the new cultures ways, the "shield" representing
rebellion from the natives.
Missionary work is, to me at least, a "sin".

This poem seems to me like it is about a wicked bunch of pirates that swarm
across the seas andplunder villages. They seem to be like savages with
"Wild shouts and the wave of hair." And they have chosen the path of
treachery and dark deeds and god has stamped "sin" across their foreheads.
