Homage To Herbert Recited

HOMAGE TO HERBERT How warm the sun upon my face The morning beauty fills my sight; With creative, expressive grace Coloured blue,yellow green and white. A solstice June Mid-summer tune Fills heart and mind with pure delight. * Look there,do you see the wall of red brick each upon the other: leans with great care. One joined evenly next to the other bonded together in equality: Participating in their purposes combining ,each their strengths the load to share: Weathered with the storms of life on its face enduring through eternity: * YOUR TRULY Why oh why did our sweet love die: My dearest heart Has another fancy come nigh: To take my part? Did good looks,fine words turn your head: On rebounds hook Then to another,he so quickly sped: And thee forsook Will words of love and this gold ring: Now make you mine With promises,to make bells ring: This troth is thine. * Each day remember not,forgive my sin My Lord,within In worship as I praise to You my hands I raise; and know you as You are, close up,not from afar Each day remember not,forgive my sin My Lord,within Help me to stop and wait for guidance,to relate when on my knees ,I pray hear better,what You say Each day remember not,forgive my sin My Lord,within * THE WITNESS If ever words fall on deaf EARS If ever FACE is washed with tears If ever VOICE is expressing fears Let now my EARS,my FACE,my VOICE still make Jesus their choice. Listen to me recite these poems of homage after the style of George Herbert on my youtube videos under name ichthyschiro.
