More from Samuel Rutherford
ye and I might meet with joy up in the rainbow
I had but one joy, the apple of the eye of my delights , to preach Christ my Lord
Like a fool as I was , I suffered my sun to be high in the heavens and near afternoon before I ever took the gate by the end.

The bloom fell off my branches and joy did cast off its flower
