Love and Friendship

by Emily Brontë.


Love is like the wild rose-briar,

Friendship is 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,

Its summer blossoms scent the air;

yet wait till winter comes again

And who will call the wild-briar fair?

What types of symbols are the wild rose-briar and the holly-tree in this poem?



a.supporting
