Famous Poems by
Famous Poets :
To Electra
>> Robert Herrick <<
More white than whitest lilies far,
Or snow, or whitest swans you are :
More white than are the whitest creams,
Or moonlight tinselling the streams :
More white than pearls, or Juno's thigh,
Or Pelops' arm of ivory.
True, I confess, such whites as these
May me delight, not fully please ;
Till like Ixion's cloud you be
White, warm, and soft to lie with me.
