From love into knowledge into joy

Mechthild of Magdeburg | December-1995 (Vol. VIII, No. 11)

I would not dance, unless Thou leadest me.
Wouldst Thou that I spring mightily,
Then must Thou sing for me.
Thus will I leap into love,
From love into knowledge into joy,
From joy beyond all human senses.

~ Mechthild of Magdeburg
