TO HEAVEN by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: OPEN THY GATES
Last Line: COME IN, OR FORCE THE GATE.
Subject(s): BIBLE; HEAVEN; RELIGION; PARADISE; THEOLOGY;
Open thy gates
To him, who weeping waits,
And might come in,
But that held back by sin.
Let mercy be
So kind, to set me free,
And I will strait
Come in, or force the gate.
