Blake Songs: 3. The Lily: 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: 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. |
