THE LAWNE by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: WO'D I SEE LAWN, CLEAR AS THE HEAVEN, AND THIN?
Last Line: THE BLUSH OF CHERRIES, WHEN A LAWN'S CAST OVER.
Subject(s): SKIN;
Wo'd I see Lawn, clear as the Heaven, and thin?
It sho'd be onely in my Julia's skin:
Which so betrayes her blood, as we discover
The blush of cherries, when a Lawn's cast over.
