Favus Distillans (Dripping Honeycomb)

A dripping honeycomb
was Ursula, virgin,
who yearned to lie with
God's lamb,
honey and milk beneath her tongue.

For she gathered around her
a flock of virgins,
a fruit-bearing orchard,
a garden in bloom.

Rejoice, daughter of Zion,
in the exalted dawn!

For she gathered around her
a flock of virgins,
a fruit-bearing orchard,
a garden in bloom.

Glorify the Father,
the Spirit and the Son.

For she gathered around her
a flock of virgins,
a fruit-bearing orchard,
a garden in bloom.

Vulvic ? Isn't that a brand of mineral water ?

[robertschelly]

Vulvic, extra-sensual. Hildegard was one of the greats.
