ANOTHER TO HIS EVER-LOVING GOD by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: THOU BIDST ME COME; I CANNOT COME; FOR WHY
Last Line: FOR, 'TIS NO EASIE WAY FROM EARTH TO HEAVEN.
Subject(s): HEAVEN; PARADISE;
Thou bidst me come; I cannot come; for why,
Thou dwel'st aloft, and I want wings to flie.
To mount my Soule, she must have pineons given;
For, 'tis no easie way from Earth to Heaven.
