CARE, by ALICE CARY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Care is like a husbandman
Last Line: Turns the roses under.
First Line: Care is like a husbandman
Last Line: Turns the roses under.
CARE is like a husbandman
Who doth guard our treasures:
And the while, all ways he can,
Spoils our harmless pleasures.
Loving hearts and laughing brows,
Most he seeks to plunder,
And each furrow that he ploughs
Turns the roses under.
