George Herbert

[Philip]

Anyone else here enjoy the devotional poetry of George Herbert?

 

[JennyG]

yes - I do

 

[JennyG]

One of Herbert's I love is

Teach me, my God and King,
In all things thee to see,
And what I do in anything
To do it as for thee...

I like Vaughan too...
He that hath found some fledg’d bird’s nest may know,
At first sight, if the bird be flown;
But what fair well or grove he sings in now,
That is to him unknown.

 

[dudley]

I find his poetry to be an ongoing conversation of the dram of redemption.I have enjoyed readind some of his poetry. I believe he was also Anglican clergyman.
