TAPERS, by ROBERT HERRICKPoet AnalysisPoet's Biography
First Line: Those tapers, which we set upon the grave Last Line: So live in heaven, in everlasting light.
Those Tapers, which we set upon the grave, In fun'rall pomp, but this importance have; That soules departed are not put out quite; But, as they walk't here in their vestures white, So live in Heaven, in everlasting light.
