Herbert

Famous quotes containing the word herbert:

    I got me flowers to straw thy way;
    I got me boughs off many a tree;
    But thou wast up by break of day,
    And brought’st thy sweets along with thee.
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)

    Holinesse on the head,
    Light and perfections on the breast,
    Harmonious bells below, raising the dead
    To leade them unto life and rest.
    Thus are true Aarons drest.
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)
