The Sick Rose
O Rose, thou art sick!
The invisible worm
That flies in the night,
In the howling storm,
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.

Tracks:"All good poetry" wrote Wordsworth, "is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings." and this was to be one of the hallmarks of the Romantic Poets. With a dynamic spirit, these great English poets made a conscious return to nostalgia and spiritual depth. Each chose a different path, but they are united in a love of moods, impressions, scenes, stories, sights and sounds. In this collection of more than 40 poems are some of the finest and most memorable works in the English language.
