Of the following, which is not a poem by John Donne?

1. Holy Sonnet 14

2. The Sun Rising

3. A Lamb Goes Uncomplaining Forth

4. To His Coy Mistress

The correct answer is: A Lamb Goes Uncomplaining Forth

"A Lamb Goes Uncomplaining Forth" is not a poem by John Donne because it was actually written by Paul Gerhardt, a German theologian and hymnodist. While Donne was a well-known poet during his time, he did not write every poem that may be attributed to him. It's important to carefully consider authorship when determining the correct answer to this question. The other options are all poems that were written by John Donne.
