"Love and Friendship" by Emily Brontё

 "Love and Friendship" by Emily Brontё

Love is like the wild rose - briar, 

Friendship like the holly - tree— 

The holly is dark when the rose -briar blooms 

But which will bloom most constantly? 

The wild rose -briar is sweet in spring, 

Its summer blossoms scent the air; 

Yet wait till winter comes again 

And who will call the wild rose-briar fair? 

Then scorn the silly rose - wreath now 

And deck thee with the holly’s sheen, 

That when December blights thy brow

He still may leave thy garland green.
