TO THE WESTERN WIND by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: SWEET WESTERN WIND, WHOSE LUCK IT IS
Last Line: AND ALL BESET WITH FLOWERS.
Subject(s): WIND;
1. Sweet Western Wind, whose luck it is,
(Made rivall with the aire)
To give Perenn'as lip a kisse,
And fan her wanton haire.

2. Bring me but one, Ile promise thee,
Instead of common showers,
Thy wings shall be embalm'd by me,
And all beset with flowers.
