ON A REQUEST OF CHLORIS by ROBERT BURNS

Poet Analysis

First Line: FROM A WHITE-BLOSSOM'D SLOE MY DEAR CHLORIS REQUESTED
Last Line: I PLANT IN THAT BOSOM A THORN!
From a white-blossom'd sloe my dear Chloris requested
A sprig, her fair breast to adorn:
No, by Heavens! I exclaim'd, let me perish, if ever
I plant in that bosom a thorn!
