Hope is like a harebell trembling from its birth, <br />Love is like a rose the joy of all the earth; <br />Faith is like a lily lifted high and white, <br />Love is like a lovely rose the world's delight; <br />Harebells and sweet lilies show a thornless growth, <br />But the rose with all its thorns excels them both.<br /><br />Christina Georgina Rossetti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hope-is-like-a-harebell-trembling-from-its-birth/
