The lily
William Blake (1757-1827)
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.
El lirio
La modesta Rosa pone al frente una espina,
y el humilde Carnero un cuerno amenazador.
Mientras, el blanco lirio se deleita en el amor:
ni espinas ni amenazas ensucian su belleza radiante.
