How Springs Came First

Title:     How Springs Came First
Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

These springs were maidens once that loved,
But lost to that they most approved:
My story tells, by Love they were
Turn'd to these springs which we see here:
The pretty whimpering that they make,
When of the banks their leave they take,
Tells ye but this, they are the same,
In nothing changed but in their name.

[The end]
(Poet) Robert Herrick's poem: How Springs Came First
