TO HIS PATERNALL COUNTRY by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: O EARTH! EARTH! EARTH HEARE THOU MY VOICE, AND BE
Last Line: UNLESSE THOU GIV'ST MY SMALL REMAINS AN URNE.
O Earth! Earth! Earth heare thou my voice, and be
Loving, and gentle for to cover me:
Banish'd from thee I live; ne'r to return,
Unlesse thou giv'st my small Remains an Urne.
