A poem by (Poet) Robert Herrick

To God [God gives not only corn for need]

________________________________________________
Title:     To God [God gives not only corn for need]
Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

God gives not only corn for need,
But likewise sup'rabundant seed;
Bread for our service, bread for show,
Meat for our meals, and fragments too:
He gives not poorly, taking some
Between the finger and the thumb;
But for our glut and for our store,
Fine flour press'd down, and running o'er.






[The end]
(Poet) Robert Herrick's poem: To God
