Roses with driftwood and storms

I need to get on the highway right now, so I was planning to just post a photograph today---Ansel Adams' "Rose and Driftwood", which is truly amazing (see for yourself,  here's the link)---but I'm having difficulty displaying it on the blog, so I'm posting a poem by William Blake instead:

The Sick Rose

By William Blake

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.
