Green, slender, leaf-clad holly boughs Were twisted gracefu' round her brows, I took her for some Scottish Muse, By that same token, An' come to stop those reckless vows, Would soon be broken. - Robert Burns, The Vision (duan I, st. 9) Those holies of themselves a shape As of an arbor took. - Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Three Graves (pt. IV, st. 24) All green was vanished save of pine and yew, That still displayed their melancholy hue; Save the green holly with its berries red, And the green moss that o'er the gravel spread. - George Crabbe, Tale of the Hall And as, when all the summer trees are seen So bright and green, The Holly leaves a sober hue display Less bright than they, But when the bare and wintry woods we see, What then so cheerful as the Holly-tree? - Robert Southey, The Holly-Tree O Reader! hast thou ever stood to see The Holly-tree? The eye that contemplates it well perceives Its glossy leaves Ordered by an Intelligence so wise As might confound the Atheist's sophistries. - Robert Southey, The Holly-Tree (st. 1)
