Matelda and the cloister of Hellfde

by of Magdeburg Mechthild

I have tuned below,

The harp I tune in desolate years

Of sorrow and tears,

Till a music sweet the chords repeat,

Which all the heavens shall fill;

For the holy courts of God made meet,

Then, when I will.”

A fivefold Song of the Soul to God, and how God is a Robe of the Soul, and the Soul a robe of God.

Thou hast shone within this soul of mine,

As the sun on a shrine of gold;
