“O Rose thou art sick.
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm:”
The Sick Rose, plate 39.

Context: p>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.</p
