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 the 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 may still leave thy garland green.
Enjoy the poem with beautiful music.

"Love and Friendship" explanation
In the poem, the speaker likens romantic
love and friendship to different plants and compares them. She argues that, in
their peaks, romantic love may look sweet and splendid, but when the time gets
harsh, love can be so fragile while friendship often lasts longer.
