Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ballads and Verses of the Spiritual Life Ballads and Verses of the Spiritual Life At The Gate The monastery towers, as pure and fair As virgin vows, reached up white hands to heaven; The walls, to guard the hidden heart of prayer, Were strong as sin, and white as sin forgiven; And there came holy men, by world´s woe driven; And all about the gold-green meadows lay Flower-decked like children dear that keep May-holiday. "Here," said the Abbot, "let us spend our days, Days sweetened by the lilies of pure prayer, Hung with white garlands of the rose of praise; And, lest the World should enter with her snare - Enter and laugh and take us unaware With her red rose, her purple and her gold - Choose we a stranger´s hand the porter´s keys to hold." They chose a beggar from the world outside To keep their worldward door for them, and he, Filled with a humble and adoring pride, Built up a wall of proud humility Between the monastery´s sanctity And the poor, foolish, humble folk who came To ask for love and care, in the dear Saviour´s name.
