I cannot ope mine eyes
But thou art ready there to catch
My mourning soul and sacrifice,
Then we must needs for that day make a match.
MyGod, what is a heart ?
Silver, or gold, or precious stone,
Or star, or rainbow, or a part
Of all these things, or all of them in one ?
MyGod, what is a heart ?
That thou should'st it so eye and woo,
Pouring upon it all thy art,
As if that thou hadst nothing else to do ?
Indeed, man's whole estate
Amounts (and richly) to serve thee ;
He did not heaven and earth create,
Yet studies them, not him by whom they be.
Teach methy love to know ;
That this new light wbich now
I see May both the work and workman show ;
Then by a sunbeam I will climb to thee.
