A HAPPY BLOSSOM NEAR MY BOSSOM (a cut­-up of William Blake’s ″The Blossom″ and ″The Rose″).

Pretty Pretty Robin

Under leaves so green

That flies in the night,

The Invisible worm

Seeks your cradle narrow

A happy blossom

Of crimson joy

Sees you swift as arrow

In the howling storm.

O Rose, thou art sick.

Pretty Pretty Robin

Hears you sobbing sobbing

Near my bosom.

Merry Merry Sparrow

Has found out thy bed

Under leaves so green

And his dark secret love

Does thy life destroy.
