Anonymous
verse from the 13th century (translated by Kuno Meyer)
O King of stars!
Whether my house be dark or bright,
Never shall it be closed against any
one,
Lest Christ close His house against
me.
If there be a guest in your house
And you conceal aught from him,
'Tis not the guest that will be without
it,
But Jesus, Mary's Son. |
