The Rose

________________________________________________
Title:     The Rose
Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

Before man's fall the rose was born,
St. Ambrose says, without the thorn;
But for man's fault then was the thorn
Without the fragrant rose-bud born;
But ne'er the rose without the thorn.

[The end]
(Poet) Robert Herrick's poem: Rose
