Christian Poetry - George Herbert (1593-1633)

Poems by George Herbert (1593-1633)

"The Call"

Come, my Way, my Truth, my Life:

Such a Way, as gives me breath:

Such a Truth, as ends all strife:

Such a Life, as killeth death.

Come, my Light, my Feast, my Strength:

Such a Light, as shows a feast:

Such a Feast, as mends in length:

Such a Strength, as makes his guest.

Come, my Joy, my Love, my Heart:

Such a Joy, as none can move:

Such a Love, as none can part:

Such a Heart, as Joyes in Love.

George Herbert (1593-1633)

Easter Wings

         Lord, who createdst man in wealth and store,

             Though foolishly he lost the same,

                 Decaying more and more,

                     Till he became

                          Most poore:

                          With thee

                      O let me rise

                  As larks, harmoniously,

              And sing this day thy victories:

           Then shall the fall further the flight in me.

           My tender age in sorrow did beginne

               And still with sicknesses and shame.

                   Thou didst so punish sinne,

                       That I became

                           Most thinne.

                           With thee

                       Let me combine,

                    And feel thy victorie:

                  For, if I imp my wing on thine,

            Affliction shall advance the flight in me.

*Turned counter clockwise, these should appear to be two sets of wings in flight…yours and the Lords!
