Well, with the day I see the clouds appear,
And mix the light with darkness everywhere;
This threatening is, to travellers that go
Long journeys, slabby rain they’ll have, or snow.
Else, while I gaze, the sun doth with his beams
Belace the clouds, as ’twere with bloody streams;
This done, they suddenly do watery grow,
And weep, and pour their tears out where they go.
Comparison:
Thus, ’tis when gospel light doth usher in
To us both sense of grace and sense of sin;
Yea, when it makes sin red with Christ’s blood,
Then we can weep till weeping does us good.
