Music + Love

Love bade me welcome: yet my soul drew back,

Guilty of dust and sin.

But quick-eyed Love, observing me grow slack

From my first entrance in,

Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning,

If I lacked anything.

A guest, I answered, worthy to be here:

Love said, You shall be he.

I the unkind, ungrateful? Ah my dear,

I cannot look on thee.

Love took my hand, and smiling did reply,

Who made the eyes but I?

Truth, Lord; but I have marred them; let my shame

 Go where it doth deserve.

And know you not, says Love, who bore the blame?

 My dear, then I will serve.

You must sit down, says Love, and taste my meat.

 So I did sit and eat.

George Herbert: Love (III)

Love takes many forms including spiritual.
