Love and Friendship
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-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.
- Emily Brontë -

What a beautiful piece for the prompt Wendy! Love all the vintage lace to go with the quote ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to have you back :). This is a sweet poem. I love Emily Bronte, though I find her love story Wuthering Heights a wee bit strange and sad, but beautiful LOVE. Enjoy your trip!. Hugs.
