"The Sick Rose" by William Blake is a poem that tells the story of a fragile rose being destroyed by a worm hiding in the shadows. The poem explores themes of innocence, corruption, and destruction. It serves as a commentary on the damaging effects of hidden or unseen forces on beauty and innocence.
The Sick Rose was created in 1794.
It is my opinion that William Blake wrote the Sick Rose to describe how an affair may have been negatively affecting his relationship with his wife. (However I don't know anything thing about Blake having a rocky relationship with his wife, he did however disapprove of the institution of marriage.) The Rose represents love and the worm death and decay. The bed can be both the bed that in which the flower sits or the bed of two lovers. Also the words crimson love connote both sexual pleasure and shame. To me this poem is about an affair, dark love, destroying a good love relationship between his wife so a second opinion may be that he saw a friend going through this type relationship! I hope this satisfies (my information came in part from sparknotes.com)
