THE RESURRECTION POSSIBLE, AND PROBABLE by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: FOR EACH ONE BODY, THAT I'TH EARTH IS SOWNE
Last Line: OF OURS, AS IS THE RISING OF THE WHEAT.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST; RESURRECTION, THE;
For each one Body, that i'th earth is sowne,
There's an up-rising but of one for one:
But for each Graine, that in the ground is thrown,
Threescore or fourescore spring up thence for one:
So that the wonder is not halfe so great,
Of ours, as is the rising of the wheat.
