​I, the Fiery Light of Divine Wisdom,

I ignite the beauty of the plains,

I sparkle the waters,

I burn the sun and the moon and the stars,

With wisdom I order all rightly,

I adorn the earth,

I am the breeze that nurtures all things green,

I am the rain coming from the dew

That causes the grasses to laugh

With the joy of life.

I call forth tears, the aroma of holy work.

I am the yearning for good. 

Hildegard de Bingen, 1100 AD
