Prayer the Churches banquet, Angels age, <br />Gods breath in man returning to his birth, <br />The soul in paraphrase, heart in pilgramage, <br />The Christian plummet sounding heav'n and earth; <br />Engine against th'Almightie, sinners towre, <br />Reversed thunder, Christ-side-piercing spear, <br />The six-daies world-transposing in an houre, <br />A kinde of tune, which all things heare and fear; <br />Softnesse, and peace, and joy, and love, and blisse, <br />Exalted Manna, gladnesse of the best, <br />Heaven in ordinarie, man well drest, <br />The milkie way, the bird of Paradise, <br />Church-bels beyond the starres heard, the souls bloud, <br />The land of spices; something understood.<br /><br />George Herbert<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/prayer-5/
