Poem by William Blake

Songs of Experience. The Lily

The modest Rose puts forth a thorn,
The humble sheep a threat'ning horn:
While the Lily white shall in love delight,
Nor a thorn nor a threat stain her beauty bright. 

1. The Two Songs
2. The Everlasting Gospel
3. Three Things to Remember
4. Songs of Experience. The Little Girl Found
