In Songs of Innocence and of Experience‚ Blake employs natural imagery throughout his poems and in many of them love can be seen as being pure and natural. In Blake’s poem ‘My Pretty Rose Tree’ natural imagery runs all the way through the poem yet he has also expressed the jealousy and complications in love.
