Effortlessly

Details
Hits: 10464

Effortlessly,

Love flows from God into man,

Like a bird

Who rivers the air

Without moving her wings.

Thus we move in His world

One in body and soul,

Though outwardly separate in form.

As the Source strikes the note,

Humanity sings --

The Holy Spirit is our harpist,

And all strings

Which are touched in Love

Must sound.

Mechthild of Magdeburg (1207- 1297)

English version by Jane Hirshfield, original Language German
