garden poetry

Hildegard of Bingen

O most noble green,

you who sink your roots in the sun

and shine in clear serenity,

in the roundness of circular wheel

that earthly magnificence cannot grasp:

surrounded by the power of celestial mysteries

you dye yourself red as sunrise

and burn as flame of sun.

You, green,

are surrounded by love
