Upon Julia's Recovery

Title:     Upon Julia's Recovery
Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

Droop, droop no more, or hang the head,
Ye roses almost withered;
Now strength, and newer purple get,
Each here declining violet.
O primroses! let this day be
A resurrection unto ye;
And to all flowers allied in blood,
Or sworn to that sweet sisterhood.
For health on Julia's cheek hath shed
Claret and cream commingled;
And those, her lips, do now appear
As beams of coral, but more clear.

[The end]
(Poet) Robert Herrick's poem: Upon Julia's Recovery
