From this bleeding hand of mine, <br />Take this sprig of Eglantine: <br />Which, though sweet unto your smell, <br />Yet the fretful briar will tell, <br />He who plucks the sweets, shall prove <br />Many thorns to be in love.<br /><br />Robert Herrick<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-bleeding-hand-or-the-sprig-of-eglantine-give/
