The range of Herbert's poetry is limited,he wrote only on religious themes, and nearly all his poems are comparatively short lyrics. His poetry expresses the combination of intellect and sensibility. He draws his images from familiar everyday sources. His theory is that "a man should dedicate all his gifts to God's service that a poet should make the altar blossom with poetry". His poem 'Prayer' consisit of a string of images in which prayer in successively called " the church's banquet". "God's breath in man returning to his birth" and so on.
