THE ROSE UPON HER BRIAR
The Lily has a smooth stalk
Will never hurt your hand,
But the rose upon her briar
Is the Lady of the Land.
There's sweetness in the Apple Tree,
And profit in the corn
But the Lady of all beauty
Is a rose upon a thorn.
When with moss and honey
She tips her bending briar,
And half unfolds her glowing heart
She sets the world on fire.
Christina Rossetti
