HOW shall Chrystall purer grow? What shall purge, & whiten Snow? In this Sacred Virgin-Mother Snow & Chrystall joyne together. What shall Days faire gate adorne, What shall gild ye face of Morne? Ne'r did East so pure as Shee Beare a Sun of Majestie. Yet must Chrystall, yet must Snow, Yet must th' East to clensing goe: By no Law, but onely the Sweet Law of Humilitie. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MADONNA by KATHARINE LEE BATES BALLADE TO OUR LADY OF CZESTOCHOWA by HILAIRE BELLOC OUR LORD AND OUR LADY by HILAIRE BELLOC PLASTIC BEATITUDE by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR A SONG OF MARY by LUCILLE CLIFTON ISLAND MARY by LUCILLE CLIFTON MARY'S DREAM by LUCILLE CLIFTON Γενεθλιακον by JOSEPH BEAUMONT Γενεθλιακον by JOSEPH BEAUMONT A CONCLUSORIE HUMNE TO THE SAME WEEK; & FOR MY FRIEND by JOSEPH BEAUMONT |
