How Springs Came First
Read 'How Springs Came First' by 'Robert Herrick' and provide your summary and literary analysis in the comments section below.
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.
