Public Domain Poetry And Stories - The Bleeding Hand; Or The Sprig Of Eglantine Given To A Maid by Robert Herrick Public domain poetry and public domain stories from the literary greats of yesteryear.
From this bleeding hand of mine,
Take this sprig of Eglantine:
Which, though sweet unto your smell,
Yet the fretful briar will tell,
He who plucks the sweets, shall prove
Many thorns to be in love.
