THE NEW YEERE'S GIFT by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: LET OTHERS LOOK FOR PEARLE AND GOLD
Last Line: THE RICHEST NEW-YEERES GIFT TO ME.
Subject(s): HOLIDAYS; NEW YEAR;

Let others look for Pearle and Gold,
Tissues, or Tabbies manifold:
One onely lock of that sweet Hay
Whereon the blessed Babie lay,
Or one poore Swadling-clout, shall be
The richest New-yeeres Gift to me.
