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.

I think the poem "Love and Friendship", is a really good poem it is really sweet and it made since to me. She did a really good job on it!

I love her poem; but I am not very good writing about poetry. So, if I wanted to write a paper about this poem, could someone help me out with a thesis statement?
