BITTER-SWEET by GEORGE HERBERT

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: AH, MY DEAR ANGRY LORD
Last Line: I WILL LAMENT AND LOVE.
Ah, my dear angry Lord,
Since thou dost love, yet strike;
Cast down, yet help afford;
Sure I will do the like.

I will complain, yet praise;
I will bewail, approve;
And all my sour-sweet days
I will lament and love.
