“The Tree of Love” a Poem by St. Francis of Assisi

The Tree of Love

St. Francis of Assisi

The tree of love its roots hath spread
Deep in my heart, and rears its head;
Rich are its fruits: they joy dispense;
Transport the heart, and ravish sense.
In love’s sweet swoon to thee I cleave,
Bless’d source of love . . . ,
