Henry Van Dyke - Thorn And Rose
Work rating: Low

Far richer than a thornless rose
Whose branch with beauty never glows,
Is that which every June adorns
With perfect bloom among its thorns.
Merely to live without a pain
Is little gladness, little gain,
Ah, welcome joy tho` mixt with grief,—
The thorn-set flower that crowns the leaf.
