Blake Songs: 4. The Sick Rose:
Our first Groundhog Day birthday boy, Dr. Sam Walter, piano, is joined his son, composer & bass-baritone, David Edgar Walther, our second Groundhog Day birthday boy. The Poem is by William Blake: O Rose thou art sick. Has found out thy bed The invisible worm, Of crimson joy: That flies in the night And his dark secret love In the howling storm: Does thy life destroy. |
