from To the Name above Every Name: A Hymn.
I Sing the Name which None can say
But touch't with An interiour Ray:
The Name of our New Peace; our Good:
Our Bliss: & Supernaturall Blood:
Our Bliss: & Supernaturall Blood:
The Name of All our Lives & Loves.
Hearken, and Help, ye holy Doves!
The high-born Brood of Day: you bright
Candidates of blissefull Light,
The Heirs Elect of Love: whose Names belong
Unto the everlasting life of Song;
All ye wise Soules, who in the wealthy Brest
Of this unbounded Name build your warm Nest.
Awake, My glory. Soul (if such thou be,
And that fair Word at all referr to Thee)
Awake & sing
And be All Wing;
Bring hither thy whole Self; & let me see
What of thy Parent Heav'n yet speakes in thee.
O thou art Poore
Of noble Powres, I see,
And full of nothing else but empty Me,
Narrow, & low, & infinitely lesse
Than this Great mornings mighty Busynes.
One little World or two
(Alas) will never doe.
We must have store.
Goe, Soul, out of thy Self, & seek for More.
– Richard Crashaw, Sacred Poems (1652)
