Blessed Tree

It is þͤ blessed tree and I, Christ
  as you are þͤ stars þͭ twinkles
 Like a river glowing in illumination and murkiness
  Resting onto þͤ blessed bourn
  Where I, Christ, sooðe myself on

With your soothing voice
  Like a glowing river\'s murmuring
 I, Christ, can escape from many forbidding noise
 and rest where you live—

  Under þͤ blessed tree
  Resting onto þͤ blessed bourn
  Inside a sunlit shadow

Giving many stars holy blessings
  Eternal happiness and joy they deserve
  Ridding them of sadness and chaos they chastise
  And giving them the peace they long wished for—

 

—From the heart of Christ

 

      —May God bless þs man for his never dying kindness—
