The poetry of George Herbert can be deceptively plain and yet cut to the heart. I do not know of any English poem that is as powerfully laconic as this one.
Beautiful poem and the ending srikes the heart like the arrow of love which motivates God.
Love is the arrow which brought the Son of God low and such love as this "needs must work on me."
O My...a timely word for a pastor "polishing" his Ash Wednesday sermon even now.
Thanks
Good one! The simplicity is powerful.
