The Rose

The lily has a smooth stalk,

Will never hiirt your hand;
But the rose upon her brier
ls lady of the land.

There's sweetness in an apple tree,

And profit in the corn;
But lady of all beauty
ls a rose upon a thorn.

When with moss anO nonfi,

She tips her bending brier,
And half unfolds her glowing heart,
She sets the world on fire.

- Christina Rossetti (1830-1894)
