To His Book [If Hap It Must, That I Must See Thee Lie]

Title:     To His Book [If Hap It Must, That I Must See Thee Lie]
Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

If hap it must, that I must see thee lie
Absyrtus-like, all torn confusedly;
With solemn tears, and with much grief of heart,
I'll recollect thee, weeping, part by part;
And having wash'd thee, close thee in a chest
With spice; that done, I'll leave thee to thy rest.

[The end]
(Poet) Robert Herrick's poem: To His Book [if Hap It Must, That I Must See Thee Lie]
