Your Sweetness Poem by Alexander Foald

Pour into my desiring well
Your sweetness, that is
The sweetness that gave me life
And introduced me to love

Let me taste the grace of the world
Your sweetness, that is
The sweetness that brought me to knowledge
And spared me a curious mind

Befall me the joy of suffering
Your sweetness, that is
The sweetness that taught me to be tough
And led me to my conviction

Rise upon my sorrowful heart
Your sweetness, that is
The sweetness that saved me from despair
And lifted me up to heaven
