Poetry Friday: The Night-Piece: To Julia by Robert Herrick

[slayground]

Her eyes the glow-worm lend thee,
The shooting stars attend thee;
And the elves also,
Whose little eyes glow
Like the sparks of fire, befriend thee.
- the first stanza of The Night-Piece: To Julia by Robert Herrick

I googled it yesterday and found it. And then decided that I thought the final stanza was actually a little bit creepy, which only made me like the poem more, even though creepy was probably not what the writer was going for.

...which is why I posted only the first stanza! :)
