But felt through all this fleshly dresse
Bright shootes of everlastingnesse.
Henry Vaughan quote Thou can'st not die. Here thou art more than safe
Where every book is thy epitaph.
Henry Vaughan quote Dear beauteous death, the jewel of the just.
Henry Vaughan quote The sun doth shake
Light from his locks, and, all the way
Breathing perfumes, doth spice the day.
Henry Vaughan quote Then bless thy secret growth, nor catch
At noise, but thrive unseen and dumb;
Keep clean, be as fruit, earn life, and watch,
Till the white-wing'd reapers come.
