​BLAKE SONGS 3. The Lily: 
music by David Edgar Walther. Performed by the composer, bass-baritone, with Dr. Sam Walter, pianist. Here is the poem by William Blake:


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.
