THE WAY by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHEN I A SHIP SEE ON THE SEAS
Last Line: THOU ART OUR CANDLE THERE, OR SPARK.

When I a ship see on the Seas,
Cuft with those watrie savages,
And therewithall, behold, it hath
In all that way no beaten path;
Then, with a wonder, I confesse,
Thou art our way i'th wildernesse:
And while we blunder in the dark,
Thou art our candle there, or spark.
