lirik lagu ghizela rowe - robert southwell - the burning babe

Loading...

as i in h~~ry winter’s night stood shivering in the snow
surpris’d i was with sudden heat which made my heart to glow;
and lifting up a fearful eye to view what fire was near
a pretty babe all burning bright did in the air appear;
who, scorched with excessive heat, such floods of tears did shed
as though his floods should quench his flames which with his tears were fed
“alas!” quoth he, “but newly born, in fiery heats i fry
yet none approach to warm their hearts or feel my fire but i!
my faultless breast the furnace is, the fuel wounding th~rns
love is the fire, and sighs the smoke, the ashes shame and scorns;
the fuel justice layeth on, and mercy blows the coals
the metal in this furnace wrought are men’s defiled souls
for which, as now on fire i am to work them to their good
so will i melt into a bath to wash them in my blood.”
with this he vanish’d out of sight and swiftly shrunk away
and straight i called unto mind that it was christmas day
