George Herbert - ComplainingGeorge Herbert - Complaining
Work rating: Low


          Do not beguile my heart,                 Because thou art My power and welcome.  Put me not to shame,                 Because I am           Thy clay that weeps, thy dust that calls.           Thou art the Lord of glorie;                   The deed and storie Are both thy due; but I a silly flie,                   That live or die,         According as the weather falls.           Art thou all justice, Lord?                 Shows not thy word More attributes? Am I all throat or eye                 To weep or crie?         Have I no parts but those of grief?           Let not thy wrathfull power                 Afflict my houre, My inch of life: or let thy gracious power                 Contract my houre,           That I may climbe and finde relief.
