Classic and Contemporary Poetry


TO ELECTRA (1) by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: I DARE NOT ASK A KISS
Last Line: THAT LATELY KISSED THEE.
Subject(s): KISSES;

I DARE not ask a kiss,
I dare not beg a smile;
Lest having that, or this,
I might grow proud the while.

No, no, the utmost share
Of my desire, shall be,
Only to kiss that air
That lately kissed thee.
