Henry Vaughan - Son-Days
Work rating: Low

.                    1 

Bright shadows of true Rest! some shoots of bliss, 
               Heaven once a week; 
The next world`s gladness prepossest in this; 
               A day to seek; 
Eternity in time; the steps by which 
We Climb above all ages; Lamps that light 
Man through his heap of dark days; and the rich, 
And full redemption of the whole week`s flight. 

                    2 

The Pulleys unto headlong man; time`s bower; 
                    The narrow way; 
Transplanted Paradise; God`s walking hour; 
                    The Cool o`th` day; 
The Creatures` Jubilee; God`s parle with dust; 
Heaven here; Man on the hills of Myrrh, and flowers; 
Angels descending; the Returns of Trust; 
A Gleam of glory, after six-days`-showers. 

                    3 

The Church`s love-feasts; Time`s Prerogative, 
                     And Interest 
Deducted from the whole; The Combs, and hive, 
                     And home of rest. 
The milky way chalked out with suns; a clue 
That guides through erring hours; and in full story 
A taste of Heav`n on earth; the pledge, and cue 
Of a full feast: And the Out Courts of glory.
