A SONG UPON SILVIA by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: FROM ME MY SILVIA RANNE AWAY
Last Line: THAT FULLY RAVISHT ME.
From me my Silvia ranne away,
And running therewithall;
A Primrose Banke did cross her way,
And gave my Love a fall.

But trust me now I dare not say,
What I by chance did see;
But such the Drap'ry did betray
That fully ravisht me.
