\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lord, who createdst man in wealth and store,<\/p>\n

Though foolishly he lost the same,<\/p>\n

Decaying more and more,<\/p>\n

Till he became<\/p>\n

Most poore:<\/p>\n

With thee<\/p>\n

O let me rise<\/p>\n

As larks, harmoniously,<\/p>\n

And sing this day thy victories:<\/p>\n

Then shall the fall further the flight in me.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

My tender age in sorrow did beginne<\/p>\n

And still with sicknesses and shame<\/p>\n

Thou didst so punish sinne,<\/p>\n

That I became<\/p>\n

Most thinne,<\/p>\n

With thee<\/p>\n

Let me combine,<\/p>\n

And feel this day thy victorie:<\/p>\n

For, if I imp my wing on thine,<\/p>\n

Affliction shall advance the flight in me.<\/p>\n

Herbert’s “Easter Wings”, a pattern poem in which the work is not only meant to be read, but its shape is meant to be appreciated: In this case, the poem was printed (original image here shown) on two pages of a book, sideways, so that the lines suggest two birds flying upward, with wings spread out.\u00a0 http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/George_Herbert<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n
