UPON HIS KINSWOMAN MISTRESSE BRIDGET HERRICK by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: SWEET BRIDGET BLUSHT, & THEREWITHALL
Last Line: AS BLOSSOMES OF THE ALMOND TREE.

Sweet Bridget blusht, & therewithall,
Fresh blossoms from her cheekes did fall.
I thought at first 'twas but a dream,
Till after I had handled them;
And smelt them, then they smelt to me,
As Blossomes of the Almond Tree.
