William Blake

 

The Wild Flower's song

As I wander'd the forest,

The green leaves among,

I heard a Wild Flower

 

Singing a song:

'I slept in the earth

In the silent night,

I murmur'd my fears

And I felt delight.

 

In the morning I went,

As rosy as morn,

To seek for new joy;

But I met with scorn.'
