Upon Roses

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

Under a lawn, than skies more clear,
Some ruffled Roses nestling were,
And snugging there, they seem'd to lie
As in a flowery nunnery;
They blush'd, and look'd more fresh than flowers
Quickened of late by pearly showers;
And all, because they were possest
But of the heat of Julia's breast,
Which, as a warm and moisten'd spring,
Gave them their ever-flourishing.

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