To God: On His Sickness

by Robert Herrick, 1647

What though my harp and viol be
Both hung upon the willow tree?
What though my bed be now my grave,
And for my house I darkness have?
What though my healthful days are fled,
And I lie number’d with the dead?
Yet I have hope, by Thy great power,
To spring; though now a wither’d flower.
