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,

It is 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 the dark thee with holly’s sheen

That, when December blights thy brow

He still may leave the garland green.
