Exalted Mind! whose Character doth bear <br />The first Idea of Perfection, whence <br />Adam's came, and stands so, how canst appear <br />In words? that only tell what here- <br />Tofore hath been; thou need'st as deep a sense <br />As prophecy, since there's no difference <br />In telling what thou art, and what shall be: <br />Then pardon me that Rapture do profess, <br />At thy outside, that want, for what I see, <br />Description, if here amaz'd I cesse <br />Thus-- <br />Yet grant one Question, and no more, crav'd under <br />Thy gracious leave, How, if thou would'st express <br />Thyself to us, thou should'st be still a wonder?<br /><br />Lord Edward Herbert of Cherbury<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-her-mind/
