THE DEDICATION (1), by HENRY VAUGHAN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: My god, thou that didst die for me Last Line: Beg thou wouldst take thy tenant's rent. Alternate Author Name(s): Silurist | ||||||||
My God, thou that didst die for me, These thy death's fruits I offer thee. Death that to me was life and light But dark and deep pangs to thy sight. Some drops of thy all-quick'ning blood Fell on my heart, these made it bud And put forth thus, though, Lord, before The ground was cursed, and void of store. Indeed, I had some here to hire Which long resisted thy desire, That stoned thy servants, and did move To have thee murthered for thy Love, But, Lord, I have expelled them, and so bent Beg thou wouldst take thy tenant's rent. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest... |
