ON GELLI-FLOWERS BEGOTTEN by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHAT WAS'T THAT FELL BUT NOW
Last Line: I'M SURE THEY'L FASHION ROSES.
Subject(s): FLOWERS;

What was't that fell but now
From that warme kisse of ours?
Look, look, by Love I vow
They were two Gelli-flowers.

Let's kisse, and kisse agen;
For if so be our closes
Make Gelli-flowers, then
I'm sure they'l fashion Roses.
