Isaac Watts


Active as the sun.	1
Beat, like the pulse, perpetual.	2
Serenely calm as summer evenings.	3
Fervent as glorious noon.	4
Gently, as morning-dews distil.	5
Gloomy, like a gathered tempest.	6
Our headlong lusts, like a young fiery horse, Start and flee raging in a violent course.	7
Serene as light.	8
Steady as the pole.	9
As the deluge strong.	10
Swift as the motions of desire.	11
Various as the moon.	12
