Poem by Robert Herrick

Upon a Virgin Kissing a Rose

'TWAS but a single Rose,
    Till you on it did breathe ;
But since, methinks, it shows
    Not so much Rose as wreath.

1. The Apron of Flowers
2. To Carnations: a Song
3. To Primroses Filled with Morning Dew
4. To Violets
5. To Daisies, Not to Shut so Soon
