THE SCARE-FIRE, by ROBERT HERRICK Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Water, water I desire Last Line: Than by one to hazard all. Subject(s): Fire | |||
Water, water I desire, Here's a house of flesh on fire; Ope' the fountains and the springs, And come all to bucketings. What ye cannot quench, pull down, Spoil a house to save a town: Better 'tis that one should fall, Than by one to hazard all. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WRITTEN TO A YOUNG LADY by MAURICE BARING OUR DRIFTWOOD FIRE by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE NIGHT FIRE by CLAUDE MCKAY WATER, WINTER, FIRE by MARVIN BELL THE LITTLE FIRE IN THE WOODS by HAYDEN CARRUTH SAMSON PREDICTS FROM GAZA THE PHILADELPHIA FIRE by LUCILLE CLIFTON ALADDIN LAMP by MADELINE DEFREES A CHRISTMAS CAROL, SUNG TO THE KING IN THE PRESENCE AT WHITEHALL by ROBERT HERRICK A MEDITATION FOR HIS MISTRESS by ROBERT HERRICK A TERNARIE OF LITTLES, UPON A PIPKIN OF JELLIE by ROBERT HERRICK |
