TEARS, by HENRY VAUGHAN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: O when my god, my glory brings Last Line: Thou hast made beggars rich. Alternate Author Name(s): Silurist | ||||||||
O when my God, my glory brings His white and holy train, Unto those clear and living springs, Where comes no stain! Where all is light, and flowers, and fruit, And joy, and rest, Make me amongst them ('tis my suit!) The last one, and the least. And when they all are fed, and have Drunk of thy living stream, Bid thy poor Ass (with tears I crave!) Drink after them. Thy love claims highest thanks, my sin The lowest pitch: But if he pays, who loves much, then Thou hast made beggars rich. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest... |
