THE PERFECT SACRIFICE, by JEANNE MARIE BOUVIER DE LA MOTTE GUYON Poet's Biography First Line: I place an offering at thy shrine Last Line: And even in thy frown. Alternate Author Name(s): Guion, De La Mothe; Guyon, Jeanne Marie Bouvieres De La Mothe; Guyon Du Chesnoy | |||
I PLACE an offering at Thy shrine, From taint and blemish clear, Simple and pure in its design, Of all that I hold dear. I yield Thee back Thy gifts again, Thy gifts which most I prize; Desirous only to retain The notice of Thine eyes. But if, by Thine adored decree, That blessing be denied; Resigned and unreluctant, see My every wish subside. Thy will in all things I approve, Exalted or cast down! Thy will in every state I love, And even in Thy frown. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A FIGURATIVE DESCRIPTION OF ...
