The rose saith in the dewy morn,
I am most fair;
Yet all my loveliness is born
Upon a thorn.


Goblin Market and Other Poems (ed. 1862)


The rose saith in the dewy morn, I am most fair; Yet all my loveliness is born Upon a thorn.

The rose saith in the dewy morn, I am most fair; Yet all my loveliness is born Upon a thorn.

The rose saith in the dewy morn, I am most fair; Yet all my loveliness is born Upon a thorn.

The rose saith in the dewy morn, I am most fair; Yet all my loveliness is born Upon a thorn.
