“I went to the Garden of Love,And saw what I never had seen:A chapel was built in the midst,Where I used to play on the green.And the gates of this chapel were shut,And ‘Thou shalt not’ writ over the door,So I turned to the Garden of Love,That so many sweet flowers bore,And I saw it was filled with graves,And tomb-stones where flowers should be:And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,And binding with briars my joys and desires.”
