The Lily
From Wikisource
| ←Ah! Sun-flower | Songs of Experience by The Lily |
The Garden of Love→ |
| This poem was published in Songs of Experience in 1794. |
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.
