Love and Friendship

Lyrics

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's 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
