My Pretty Rose Tree is a poem written by the English poet William Blake. It was published as part of his collection Songs of Experience in 1794.br br A flower was offered to me,br Such a flower as May never bore;br But I said, 'I've a pretty rose tree,'br And I passed the sweet flower o'er.br br Then I went to my pretty rose tree,br To tend her by day and by night;br But my rose turned away with jealousy,br And her thorns were my only delight.
