A Selection from the Lyrical Poems of Robert Herrick

127. OF LOVE: A SONNET

     How Love came in, I do not know,
     Whether by th'eye, or ear, or no;
     Or whether with the soul it came,
     At first, infused with the same;
     Whether in part 'tis here or there,
     Or, like the soul, whole every where.
     This troubles me; but I as well
     As any other, this can tell;
     That when from hence she does depart,
     The outlet then is from the heart.
