William Blake

Does the Eagle know what is in the pit?

Or wilt thou go ask the Mole:

Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod?

Or Love in a golden bowl?

ord Jesus Christ, our Wisdom and our Rest,Who wisely dost reveal and wisely hide,Grant us such grace in wisdom to abideAccording to Thy Will whose Will is best.Contented with Thine uttermost behest,Too sweet for envy and too high for pride;All simple-souled, dove-hearted and dove-eyed,Soft-voiced, and satisfied in humble nest.Wondering at the bounty of Thy LoveWhich gives us wings of silver and of gold;Wings folded close, yet ready to unfoldWhen Thou shalt say, “Winter is past and gone:”When Thou shalt say, “Spouse, sister, love and dove,Come hither, sit with Me upon My Throne.”
