UPON HIS KINSWOMAN MISTRESSE BRIDGET HERRICK, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Sweet bridget blusht, & therewithall
Last Line: As blossomes of the almond tree.


Sweet Bridget blusht, & therewithall,
Fresh blossoms from her cheekes did fall.
I thought at first 'twas but a dream,
Till after I had handled them;
And smelt them, then they smelt to me,
As Blossomes of the Almond Tree.
