*** Revised Common Lectionary ***
Lectionary Reading: 1 Peter 1:3-9
CLASSIC POEM:
Lost Joy
Emily Dickinson
I had a daily bliss
I half indifferent viewed,
Till sudden I perceived it stir, —
It grew as I pursued,
Till when, around a crag,
It wasted from my sight,
Enlarged beyond my utmost scope,
I learned its sweetness right.
*** This poem is in the public domain,
and may be read in a live-streamed worship service.
CONTEMPORARY POEM:
Wedding Poem
Ross Gay
SNIPPET:
… making me blush,
and rock up on my tippy-toes,
and just barely purse my lips
with what I realize now
was being, simply, glad,
which such love,
if we let it,
makes us feel.
