OUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD (COLOSSIANS 3:3), by GEORGE HERBERT Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: My words and thoughts do both expressse this notion Last Line: To gain at harvest an eternal treasure. Variant Title(s): Coloss. 3. 3. Our Life Is Hide With Christ In God | ||||||||
MY words and thoughts do both expresse this notion, That Life hath with the sun a double motion. The first Is straight, and our diurnall friend; The other Hid, and doth obliquely bend. One life is wrapt In flesh, and tends to earth: The other winds towards Him whose happie birth Taught me to live here so, That still one eye Should aim and shoot at that which Is on high; Quitting with daily labour all My pleasure, To gain at harvest an eternal Treasure. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A TRUE HYMN [HYMNE] by GEORGE HERBERT CHURCH MONUMENTS by GEORGE HERBERT CHURCH-MUSICK [CHURCH MUSIC] by GEORGE HERBERT |
