每天一诗 英语诗歌

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,

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 holly´s sheen,

That, when December blights thy brow,

He still may leave thy garland green.*

*爱情像野玫瑰，友情像冬青。
