EASTER WINGS
by George Herbert

Lord, who createdst man in wealth and store,
Though foolishly he lost the same,
Decaying more and more
Till he became
Most poor:
With Thee
O let me rise
As larks, harmoniously,
And sing this day Thy victories:
Then shall the fall further the flight in me.


My tender age in sorrow did begin;
And still with sicknesses and shame
Thou didst so punish sin,
That I became
Most thin.
With Thee
Let me combine,
And feel this day thy victory;
For, if I imp my wing on thine,
Affliction shall advance the flight in me.

This is a poem we studied in my Eng 103 class Fall semester. My thoughts always return to it in certain situations, esp. the line: "Then shall the fall further the flight in me." I guess esp. recently I have been stuck on flight as I once was so stuck on the ocean... Ah! but that line! "Then shall the fall further the flight in me." Just think about it!

Then shall the fall further the flight in me
