The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Herbert (4) the Holy Spirit

Come my guide,my friend,my end:
such a guide,as lights my course:
such a friend,as my heart mends:
such an end,as is my source.


Inspired by George Herbert's poem'The Call a quatrain a 7 syllables per line,with rhyme scheme
abab here is the Ist verse from George's masterpiece

Come,my Way,my Truth,my Life:
Such a way,as gives us breath
Such a Truth,as ends all strife:
And such a life,as killeth death.
