Classic and Contemporary Poetry


TO PERENNA (3) by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: I A DIRGE WILL PEN FOR THEE
Last Line: CANDLEMAS TO GRACE THE GRAVE.

I a Dirge will pen for thee;
Thou a Trentall make for me:
That the Monks and Fryers together,
Here may sing the rest of either:
Next, I'm sure, the Nuns will have
Candlemas to grace the Grave.
