How Pansies Or Hearts-Ease Came First

Title:     How Pansies Or Hearts-Ease Came First
Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

Frolic virgins once these were,
Overloving, living here;
Being here their ends denied
Ran for sweet-hearts mad, and died.
Love, in pity of their tears,
And their loss in blooming years,
For their restless here-spent hours,
Gave them hearts-ease turn'd to flowers.

[The end]
(Poet) Robert Herrick's poem: How Pansies Or Hearts-Ease Came First
