George Herbert - The StormGeorge Herbert - The Storm
Work rating: Low


If as the windes and waters here below                         Do flie and flow, My sighs and tears as busy were above;                         Sure they would move And much affect thee, as tempestuous times Amaze poore mortals, and object their crimes. Starres have their storms, ev`n in a high degree,                         As well as we. A throbbing conscience spurred by remorse                         Hath a strange force: It quits the earth, and mounting more and more, Dares to assault thee, and besiege thy doore. There it stands knocking, to thy musick`s wrong,                         And drowns the song. Glorie and honour are set by till it                            An answer get. Poets have wrong`d poore storms: such dayes are best; They purge the aire without, within the breast.
