Deliverance from a fitt of Fainting
Anne Bradstreet
1612 to 1672
Worthy art Thou, 0 Lord of praise!
But ah! it’s not in me;
My sinking heart I pray thee raise,
So shall I give it Thee.
My life as Spider’s webb’s cutt off,
Thus fainting have I said,
And liveing man no more shall see,
But bee in silence layd.
My feblee Spirit thou didst revive,
My Doubting thou didst chide,
And tho’ as dead mad’st me alive,
I here a while might ’bide.
Why should I live but to thy
Praise My life is hid with Thee;
O Lord, no longer bee my Dayes,
Than I may fruitfull bee.
