from The Weeper
Parents of Silver-footed rills!
Ever bubling things!
Thawing Christall! Snowy Hills!
Still spending, never spent! I mean
Thy fair Eyes, sweet Magdalene!
Thy fair Eyes, sweet Magdalene!
Heavens, thy fair Eyes bee;
Heavens of ever-falling stars.
'Tis seed-time still with thee
And stars thou sow'st, whose harvest dares
Promise the earth to countershine
Whatever makes Heavens fore-head fine.
But we are deceived all.
Stars they are indeed too true,
For they but seem to fall
As Heavens other spangles doe:
It is not for our earth and us
To shine in things so pretious.
Upwards thou dost weepe.
Heavens bosome drinks the gentle streame.
Where th' milky rivers creep,
Thine floates above; and is the Creame.
Waters above th' Heavens, what they be
We're taught best by thy Teares and thee.
– Richard Crashaw, Steps to the Temple (1648, revised 1652)
