THE RAINBOW by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: LOOK, HOW THE RAINBOW DOTH APPEARE
Last Line: THAT NOTHING SHOOTS, BUT WAR AND WOE.
Subject(s): RAINBOWS;
Look, how the Rainbow doth appeare
But in one onely Hemisphere:
So likewise after our disseace,
No more is seen the Arch of Peace.
That Cov'nant's here; The under-bow,
That nothing shoots, but war and woe.
