Editor's Selection of Poems
Collosians 3:3

by George Herbert

Our life is hid with Christ in God 

My words and thoughts do both express this notion,
That Life hath with the sun a double motion
The first Is straight, and our diurnal  friend,
The other Hid, and doth obliquely bend.
One life is wrapt In flesh, and tends to earth.
The other winds towards Him, whose happy birth
Taught me to live here so,  That still one eye
Should aim and shoot at that which Is on high:
Quitting   with  daily   labor  all   My pleasure,
To   gain  at   harvest   an   eternal   Treasure.
