Poem by Robert Herrick

To Electra

I dare not ask a kiss,
I dare not beg a smile;
Lest having that, or this,
I might grow proud the while.

No, no, the utmost share
Of my desire shall be,
Only to kiss that air
That lately kissed thee.

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