Love and Friendship
by Emily Brontë.
Love is like the wild rose-briar,
Friendship is like the holly-tree—
The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms
But which will bloom most constantly?
The wild rose-briar is sweet in spring,
Its summer blossoms scent the air;
yet wait till winter comes again
And who will call the wild-briar fair?
What types of symbols are the wild rose-briar and the holly-tree in this poem?
a.supporting
b.summarizing
c.personal
d.conventional
