Richard Crashaw - Upon the Book and Picture of the Seraphical Saint Teresa

O THOU undaunted daughter of desires! br By all thy dower of lights and fires; br By all the eagle in thee, all the dove; br By all thy lives and deaths of love; br By thy large draughts of intellectual day, br And by thy thirsts of love more large than they; br By all thy brim-fill'd bowls of fierce desire, br By thy last morning's draught of liquid fire; br By the full kingdom of that final kiss br That seized thy parting soul, and seal'd thee His; br By all the Heav'n thou hast in Him br (Fair sister of the seraphim!); br By all of Him we have in thee; br Leave nothing of myself in me.
