To work a wonder, God would have her shown,
At once, a bud, and yet a rose full-blown.

Robert Herrick

Before man's fall the rose was born,
St. Ambrose says, without the thorn;
But for man's fault then was the thorn
Without the fragrant rose-bud born; But ne'er the rose without the thorn.

Robert Herrick
