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 turn'd 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.
