The Lily

William Blake

 Next Poem          

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.

    WOW, THIS IS SUCH A NICE PEOM. REALLY SWEET AND SIMPLE. REMINDS ME OF ALL THE NATURE AROUND US AND THE BEAUTY OF FLOWERS. I JUST LOVE HOW IT TALKS ABOUT PURITY AND BEAUTY WITHOUT PAIN OR THREAT. DEFENITELY A GEM. I WONDER HOW THE POET CAME UP WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL PEICE OF WORK. ABSOLUTLY LOVED IT.
