An illustration from Sing-song : a nursery rhyme book, 1915, leaf 39
Hope is like a harebell trembling from its birth,Love is like a rose the joy of all the earth ;Faith is like a lily lifted high and white,Love is like a lovely rose the worlds delight ;Harebells and sweet lilies show a thornless growth,But the rose with all its thorns excels them both. … O wind, why do you never rest,Wandering, whistling to and fro, Bringing rain out of the west, From the dim north bringing snow ? 18
