An EJACULATION To my CREATOR.
As the parch'd Field doth thirst for Rain
When the Dog-star makes Sheep and Swain
Of an unusual Drowth complain,
So thirsts my Heart for Thee.

As the chac'd Deer doth pant and bray
After some brook, or cooling Bay
When Hounds have worried her astray,
So pants my Heart for Thee.

So pants my Heart for Thee.
As the forsaken Dove doth mone
When her beloved Mate is gone,
And never rests while self alone,
So mones my Heart for Thee.
When her beloved Mate is gone,
And never rests while self alone,
So mones my Heart for Thee.
Or as the Teeming Earth doth mourn
In Black (like Lover at an Urn)
Till Titan's quickning Beams return,
So do I mourn, mone, pant and thirst
For Thee who art my Last and First.
In Black (like Lover at an Urn)
Till Titan's quickning Beams return,
So do I mourn, mone, pant and thirst
For Thee who art my Last and First.
