William Blake Quote

The Lily of the valley, breathing in the humble grassAnswer'd the lovely maid and said: I am a watry weed,And I am very small, and love to dwell in lowly vales;So weak, the gilded butterfly scarce perches on my head;Yet I am visited from heaven, and he that smiles on allWalks in the valley and each morn over me spreads his hand,Saying: 'Rejoice, thou humble grass, thou new-born lily flower,
