from Meditations Hildegarde of Bingen
I am one whose praise
echoes on high.
I adorn all the earth.
I am the breeze
that nutures all things
green.
I encourage blossoms to flourish with ripening fruit.
I am led by the spirit to feed
the purest streams.
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.
