Prayer (Oração)

Prayer (by George Herbert)

Prayer the church’s banquet, angel’s age,
God’s breath in man returning to his birth,
The soul in paraphrase, heart in pilgrimage,
The Christian plummet sounding heav’n and earth
Engine against th’ Almighty, sinner’s tow’r,
Reversed thunder, Christ-side-piercing spear,
The six-days world transposing in an hour,
A kind of tune, which all things hear 
and fear;
Softness, and peace, and joy, and love, and bliss,
Exalted manna, gladness of the best,
Heaven in ordinary, man well drest,
The milky way, the bird of Paradise,
Church-bells beyond the stars heard, the soul’s blood,
 The land of spices; something understood.

Oração

Oração, a festa da igreja, tempo dos anjos,  
Sopro de Deus no homem que volta a sua nascença,   
A alma em paráfrase, coração em peregrinação,   
O prumo do Cristão que mensura céu 
e terra,   
Nave lançada em direção a Deus, torre do pecador,   
Trovão ao reverso, lança aguda ao lado de Cristo,   
O mundo de seis dias revirado em uma hora,   
Espécie de entonação, que todas as coisas ouvem e temem;  
Complacência, e paz, e alegria, e amor, e
êxtase  
Louvado Maná, júbilo dos melhores,  
Céu no dia-a-dia, homem bem vestido,  
A via láctea, o pássaro do Paraíso,  
Sinos da igreja escutados além das estrelas, o sangue do espírito,  
 A terra das especiarias; alguma coisa compreendida.
St. Andrew’s Church – Bemerton
