THE ELIXIR
By George Herbert
(Forwarded by Cynthia Abegail)
Teach me, my God and King,
In all things thee to see,
And what I do in anything,
Do it as for Thee ...
A man that looks on glass
On it may stay his eye
if he pleaseth, through it pass,
And then the heavens espy.
All may of thee partake,
Nothing can be so mean...
A servant with this clause
Makes grudgery divine;
Who sweeps a room as for thy laws,
Makes that and the action fine.
This is the famous stone
That turneth all to gold;
For that which God doth touch and own
Cannot for less be told.
BY
George Herbert (1593-1633)
