Spikenard

August 8, 2012 by memullin

As one who came with ointments sweet,

Abettors to her fleshly guilt,

And brake and poured them at Thy Feet,

And worshipped Thee with spikenard spilt:

So from a body full of blame,

And tongue too deeply versed in shame,

Do I pour speech upon Thy Name.

O Thou, if tongue may yet beseech,

Near to Thine awful Feet let reach

This broken spikenard of my speech!

Laurence Housman (1865-1959)
