I love this poem. Its called Easter Wings
Lord, who createdst man in wealth and store,
Though foolishly he lost the same,
Decaying more and more,
Till he became
Most poore:
With thee
O Let me rise
As lark, harmoniously
And sing this day thy victories:
Then shall the fall further the flight in me.
My tender age in sorrow did beginne:
And still with sickness and shame
Though didst punish sinne,
That I became
Most thinne.
With thee
Let me combine
And feel this day thy victorie:
For, If I imp my wing on thine,
Affliction shall advance the flight in me.
~George Herbert
