A poem by (Poet) Robert Herrick

The Watch [epigram]

________________________________________________
Title:     The Watch [epigram]
Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

Man is a watch, wound up at first, but never
Wound up again; Once down, he's down for ever.
The watch once down, all motions then do cease;
The man's pulse stopt, all passions sleep in peace.








[The end]
(Poet) Robert Herrick's poem: Watch [epigram]
