Bitter-Sweet Poem by George Herbert

Ah, my dear angry Lord, Since thou dost love, yet strike; Cast down, yet help afford; Sure I will do the like. I will complain, yet praise; I will bewail, approve; And all my sour-sweet days I will lament and love. George Herbert GREAT! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! FAITH SAVE....10+

Bitter Sweet is both sour and sweet. I will complain, yet praise; I will bewail, approve; And all my sour-sweet days I will lament and love. A poem that contrasts and contradicts the emotions and passions.

A great attitude for one and all to attain. Superbly penned and timeless food for thought even today.

My sour-sweet days! ! Thanks for sharing.

I will complain, yet praise; I will bewail, approve; I do so understand. Praise Creator God

Well, since rhyming's been my ruin and win, let me rhyme to the bitter and better end also I have had bitter experiences of late; this has been the worst, yet in a way the most fortunate, contradiction and reconciliation is what this poem educes..........thanks for sharing

Great poem. If we all could keep this attitude we sure will be closer to that Lord.
