Noe mervaile if my mite amaized bee Musing upon Almighties Mighty ALL In all its Fulness socketed in thee As furniture, my Lord, to grace thy Hall. Thy Work requires that so the Case should goe. But oh! what Grace doth hence to Sinners flow? I strike mine oare not in the golden Sea Of Godhead Fulness, thine essentially. But in the Silver Ocean make my way Of All Created Fulness, thine Most high. Thy Humane Glass, God wondrously did build: And Grace oreflowing, with All fulness Filld. Thou dost all Fulness of all Life possess. Thy Life all varnisht is with virdent flowers 'Bove Sense and Reason in their brightest dress. Lifes best top gallant ever in thee towers. The Life of Grace that Life of Life within Thy knot in heavenly Sparks is flourishing. Besides thy proper Lifes tall fulness-Wealth, There's Life in thee, like golden Spirits, stills, To ery member of thy Mystick Selfe, Through secret Chases into th'vitall tills Or like the Light embodi'd in the Sun That to each living thing with life doth run. A Well of Living Water: Tree of Life From whom Life comes to every thing alive: Some Eate and Drink Eternall Life most rife. Some life have for a while by a reprive. Who in this well do let their bucket down Shall never in the lake of Lethe drown. Lord, bath mee in this Well of Life. This Dew Of Vitall Fruite will make mee ever live. My branch make green: my Rose ware vivid hew An Holy and a fragrant sent out give. My kirnell ripe shall rattle out thy praise And Orient blush shall on my actions blaze. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ELEGY: THE GHOST WHOSE LIPS WERE WARM; FOR GEOFFREY GORER by EDITH SITWELL DOWN-HILL ON A BICYCLE by LOUIS UNTERMEYER GROWING GRAY by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON DREAM SONG: 2 by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR ADDRESS TO THE OCEAN by BRYAN WALLER PROCTER |
