THE OLIVE BRANCH, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Sadly I walk't within the field
Last Line: And love shall crown my end with peace
Subject(s): Peace


Sadly I walk't within the field,
To see what comfort it wo'd yeeld:
And as I went my private way,
An Olive-branch before me lay:
And seeing it, I made a stay.
And took it up, and view'd it; then
Kissing the Omen, said Amen:
Be, be it so, and let this be
A Divination unto me:
That in short time my woes shall cease;
And Love shall crown my End with Peace
