George Herbert - MattensGeorge Herbert - Mattens
Work rating: Low


          I cannot ope mine eyes,     But thou art ready there to catch     My morning-soul and sacrifice: Then we must needs for that day make a match.           My God, what is a heart?     Silver, or gold, or precious stone,     Or starre, or rainbow, or a part Of all these things, or all of them in one?           My God, what is a heart,     That thou shouldst it so eye, and wooe,     Powring upon it all thy art, As if that Thou hadst nothing els to do?           Indeed, man`s whole estate     Amounts (and richly) to serve thee:     He did not heav`n and earth create, Yet studies them, not him by whom they be.           Teach me thy love to know;     That this new light, which now I see,     May both the work and workman show: Then by a sunne-beam I will climbe to thee.
