Lyrics
The Sick Rose
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
from William Blake's Songs of Experience (1794)
Oh rose, thou are sick;
The invisible worm
That flies in the night
In the howling storm
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy,
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.
