UPON A MAID by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: GONE SHE IS A LONG, LONG WAY
Last Line: HERE, HER ASHES, OR HER URNE.
Subject(s): DEATH; DEAD, THE;
Gone she is a long, long way,
But she has decreed a day
Back to come, (and make no stay.)
So we keepe till her returne
Here, her ashes, or her Urne.
