The Wild Flower’s Song
by William Blake

As I wandered the forest,

The green leaves among,

I heard a Wild Flower

Singing a song.

‘I slept in the earth

In the silent night,

I murmured my fears

And I felt delight.

‘In the morning I went

As rosy as morn,

To seek for new joy;

But oh! met with scorn.’
