Hildegard von Bingen
A 12th century drone song about the beauty of the sun rising through a tree, and the strength that can be derived from this image.
O Blooming branch,
you stand upright in your nobility,
as breaks the dawn on high:
Rejoice now and be glad,
and deign to free us, frail and weakened,
from the wicked habits of our age.
Stretch forth your illuminated hand
to lift us up aright.
