Famous Poem
- By William Butler Yeats
My dear, my dear, I know
More than another
What makes your heart beat so;
Not even your own mother

My dear, my dear, I know
More than another
What makes your heart beat so;
Not even your own mother
Can know it as I know,

22. The Sick Rose

William Blake was an English poet who lived from 1757-1827. Blake spoke of having visions as a young child, and since he was different than others, his parents did not send him to school. He learned to read and write at home, and he began writing poetry at the age of twelve. The rose in this poem is a symbol of love and how love can become sick without realizing it. There are various "worms" that can come to destroy the love between two people.

Famous Poem
- By William Blake
O Rose, thou art sick!
The invisible worm
That flies in the night,
In the howling storm,

O Rose, thou art 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.
