THE MAIDEN BLUSH by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: SO LOOK THE MORNINGS, WHEN THE SUN
Last Line: HER EITHER CHEEKE WITH BASHFULLNESS.
Subject(s): BASHFULNESS; SHYNESS;
So look the mornings when the Sun
Paints them with fresh Vermilion:
So Cherries blush, and Kathern Peares,
And Apricocks, in youthfull yeares:
So Corrolls looke more lovely Red,
And Rubies lately polished:
So purest Diaper doth shine,
Stain'd by the Beames of Clarret wine:
As Julia looks when she doth dress
Her either cheeke with bashfullness.
