Religion

Easter wings.

by George Herbert 1593–1633

Religion

My tender age in sorrow did beginne▪
And still with sicknesses and shame
Thou didst so 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.
