Cowley (1) I Got That ,Loving Feeling

Fill me once more,Holy Spirit to know,
Move me ,inside,you love to show,
Quieten my heart,now to play
Without rehearsal,on life's stage each phrase to say.

Speak,speak by thought,picture,word or deed,
Then in my weakness,your strength feed:
O teach my tomgue to quiet be,
Until you prompt,and all I say,is all of thee.

This quatrain was inspired by  Abraham Cowley's (1618-67) 'Hymn to Light'

Your strong faith shines bright through this poem, Brian...I also have learned what a Quatrain is...I have written quite a few poems in the a-a-b-b style and see I have misnamed them as Rhymes because I didn't know what else to call them or am I off base here? - Tim
