THE BRACELET: TO JULIA, by ROBERT HERRICK Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Why I tie [tye] about thy wrist Last Line: If I could, I would not so. Subject(s): Jewelry & Jewelers; Rings; Bracelets; Necklaces | ||||||||
WHY I tie about thy wrist Julia, this my silken twist; For what other reason is 't, But to show thee how in part, Thou my pretty captive art? But thy bondslave is my heart: 'Tis but silk that bindeth thee, Snap the thread, and thou art free: But 'tis otherwise with me; I am bound, and fast bound so, That from thee I cannot go, If I could, I would not so. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LOST JEWEL by EMILY DICKINSON ANTIQUE JEWELER by FREDERICK HENRY HERBERT ADLER MY JEWEL CASE by BESSE BURNETT BELL A JEWELLED SELL by PATRICK REGINALD CHALMERS A MARRIAGE RING by GEORGE CRABBE ON RECEIVING FROM A LADY A PRESENT OF A RING by GEORGE CRABBE I WEAR A JEWEL by JAMES P.
