Speaking in Tongues



The Clod and the Pebble

Love seeketh not Itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care;
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a Heaven in Hells despair.


So sang a little Clod of Clay,
Trodden with the cattles feet;
But a Pebble of the brook,
Warbled out these metres meet.


Love seeketh only Self to please,
To bind another to Its delight:
Joys in anothers loss of ease,
And builds a Hell in Heavens despite.

My Pretty Rose-tree



A flower was offerd to me:
Such a flower as May never bore.
But I said I've a Pretty Pose-tree,
And I passed the sweet flower o'er.


Then I went to me Pretty Rose-tree:
To tend her by day and by night.
Rose turnd away with jealousy:
And her thorns were my only delight.
