Christ, My Beloved
Language: English
Christ, my Beloved which still doth feed Among the flowers, having delight Among his faithful lilies, Doth take great care for me indeed, And I again with all my might Will do what so his will is. My Love in me and I in him, Conjoined by love, will till abide Among the faithful lilies Till day do break, and truth do dim All shadows dark and cause them slide, According as his will is.
