TO THE WATER NYMPHS DRINKING AT THE FOUNTAIN by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: REACH WITH YOUR WHITER HANDS TO ME
Last Line: THE WATER TURN'D TO WINE.
Subject(s): NYMPHS;
1. Reach, with your whiter hands, to me,
Some Christall of the Spring;
And I, about the Cup shall see
Fresh Lillies flourishing.

2. Or else sweet Nimphs do you but this;
To'th' Glasse your lips encline;
And I shall see by that one kisse,
The Water turn'd to Wine.
