The Lily
William Blake
1757 to 1827
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.
William Blake's The Lily
I am busy working to bring William Blake's "The Lily" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about William Blake's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "The Lily" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
