Blake, William: A liliom (The Lily in Hungarian)

Portre of Blake, William
Portre of Képes Géza

Back to the translator

The Lily (English)

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.

A liliom (Hungarian)

A szerény rózsa tüskét nyújtogat,

A jámbor juh ijesztő szarvakat:

A tündöklő-szép liliom be boldog:

Ijesztés, tüske nem ejt rajta foltot.
