It’s from a poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson titled “Rhodora”.
My mother went to school after WW2 and American Literature was part of their curriculum. I believe they were made to memorize the poem because even my former teachers and principals would recite a line for me. �

I'm assuming the "rhod" comes from the Greek for "rose" (like Rhoda).
