Excerpt from Old Robin and His Proverb
'Still downward goes Christ's way:
Wilt thou, with fond endeavour
To scale heaven's lofty towers,
Be vainly toiling ever?
The Saviour stoopeth low,
He who with him would rise,
With him must downward go.
"Down, therefore, O my mind!
Unlearn thy lofty thinking,
The light chaff mounts alone,
While solid grain is sinking.
Into the small, deep spring,
The waters freely flow,
Till it breaks forth a stream,
So thou, my soul, lie low."
From the German.
