Life Is The Body's Light

Title:     Life Is The Body's Light
Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

Life is the body's light; which, once declining,
Those crimson clouds i' th' cheeks and lips leave shining:-
Those counter-changed tabbies in the air,
The sun once set, all of one colour are:
So, when death comes, fresh tinctures lose their place,
And dismal darkness then doth smutch the face.

[The end]
(Poet) Robert Herrick's poem: Life Is The Body's Light
