TO HIS VALENTINE, ON S. VALENTINES DAY by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: OFT HAVE I HEARD BOTH YOUTHS AND VIRGINS SAY
Last Line: WHEN I SHALL COUPLE WITH MY VALENTINE.
Subject(s): HOLIDAYS; VALENTINE'S DAY;
Oft have I heard both Youths and Virgins say,
Birds chuse their Mates, and couple too, this day:
But by their flight I never can divine,
When I shall couple with my Valentine.
