THE RECOMPENCE by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: ALL I HAVE LOST, THAT CO'D BE RAPT FROM ME
Last Line: SMILE, THAT ONE SMILE'S FULL RESTITUTION.

All I have lost, that co'd be rapt from me;
And fare it well: yet Herrick, if so be
Thy Deerest Saviour renders thee but one
Smile, that one smile's full restitution.
