Title:     To Robin Red-Breast
Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

Laid out for dead, let thy last kindness be
With leaves and moss-work for to cover me;
And while the wood-nymphs my cold corpse inter,
Sing thou my dirge, sweet-warbling chorister!
For epitaph, in foliage, next write this:
HERE, HERE THE TOMB OF ROBIN HERRICK IS!

[The end]
(Poet) Robert Herrick's poem: To Robin Red-Breast
