Text:The Highway
Author:Mechthild of Hellfde, d. 1277

34a. The Highway

It is a wondrous and a lofty road
Wherein the faithful soul must tread,
And by the seeing there the blind are led,
The senses by the soul acquaint with God.
On that high path the soul is free,
She knows no care nor ill,
For all God wills desireth she,
And blessed is His will.
