His Desire
Robert Herrick
1591 to 1674
Give me a man that is not dull,
When all the world with rifts is full;
But unamazed dares clearly sing,
Whenas the roof's a-tottering;
And though it falls, continues still
Tickling the Cittern with his quill.
Robert Herrick's His Desire
I am busy working to bring Robert Herrick's "His Desire" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the gallery for other musical arrangements or learn more about Robert Herrick's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "His Desire" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
