Christina Georgina Rossetti - The Lily Has A Smooth Stalk
Work rating: Low

The lily has a smooth stalk, 
Will never hurt your hand; 
But the rose upon her briar 
Is lady of the land. 
There`s sweetness in an apple tree, 
And profit in the corn; 
But lady of all beauty 
Is a rose upon a thorn. 
When with moss and honey 
She tips her bending briar, 
And half unfolds her glowing heart, 
She sets the world on fire.
