Public Domain Poetry And Stories - How His Soul Came Ensnared by Robert Herrick Public domain poetry and public domain stories from the literary greats of yesteryear.
My soul would one day go and seek
For roses, and in Julia's cheek
A richess of those sweets she found,
As in another Rosamond;
But gathering roses as she was,
Not knowing what would come to pass,
it chanced a ringlet of her hair
Caught my poor soul, as in a snare;
Which ever since has been in thrall;
Yet freedom she enjoys withal.
