a lo divino (st. john of the cross) - ‎hallowed lyrics

Loading...

once a young shepherd, went off to despond
how could he dance again?
how could he sing?
all of his thoughts to his shepherdess cling
with love in his heart like a ruinous wound
the root of his sorrow?
no, never the wound:

the lad was a lover and relished the dart
that lodged where is drank the best blood of his heart

but sighing “forgotten!”
went off to despond
for only to think it forgotten
for only to think it forgotten

by one beautiful shepherdess!
drove him afar;
cost him a drubbing in a foreigners’ war
with lovе in his heart like a ruinous wound

the shеpherd boy murmured:
“o’ curses descend
on the stranger who’s stolen my pretty one
my pretty one.”
she keeps a cold distance * stares stare stonily
on the love in my heart like a ruinous wound
time passed: on a season he sprang from the ground
swarmed a tall tree arms balancing wide
handsomely grappled the tree till he died
of the love in his heart like a ruinous wound
