To God: His Good Will

Title:     To God: His Good Will
Author: (Poet) Robert Herrick [More Titles by Herrick]

Gold I have none, but I present my need,
O Thou, that crown'st the will, where wants the deed.
Where rams are wanting, or large bullocks' thighs,
There a poor lamb's a plenteous sacrifice.
Take then his vows, who, if he had it, would
Devote to Thee both incense, myrrh and gold
Upon an altar rear'd by him, and crown'd
Both with the ruby, pearl, and diamond.

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