Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

Fly me not, though I be gray,
Lady, this I know you'll say;
Better look the roses red,
When with white commingled.
Black your hairs are; mine are white;
This begets the more delight,
When things meet most opposite;
As in pictures we descry
Venus standing Vulcan by.

[The end]
(Poet) Robert Herrick's poem: Upon His Gray Hairs
