THE VISION TO ELECTRA by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: I DREAM'D WE BOTH WERE IN A BED
Last Line: LOVE GIVE ME MORE SUCH NIGHTS AS THESE.
Subject(s): LOVE;
I dream'd we both were in a bed
Of Roses, almost smothered:
The warmth and sweetnes had me there
Made lovingly familiar:
But that I heard thy sweet breath say,
Faults done by night, will blush by day:
I kist thee (panting,) and I call
Night to the Record! that was all.
But ah! if empty dreames so please,
Love give me more such nights as these.
