My Pretty Rose Tree

by William Blake

A flower was offered to me,
Such a flower as May never bore;
But I said "I've a pretty rose tree,"
And I passed the sweet flower o'er.

Then I went to my pretty rose tree,
To tend his by day and by night;
But my rose turned away with jealousy,
And his thorns were my only delight.
