68. Lord, I long after Thee
Ihū, for þe mourne I may
As turtel þat longeþ boþe nyȝt & day
for her loue is gone hyr froo,
for aftur þe, lorde, me longeþ ay;
And þat is al my myrþe & pley,
Where I sitte or goo.
As turtel þat longeþ boþe nyȝt & day
for her loue is gone hyr froo,
for aftur þe, lorde, me longeþ ay;
And þat is al my myrþe & pley,
Where I sitte or goo.
103
Þerfore, lord, þou rewe on me
And helpe me sone, þat I may see
Þe feyerhe[d] of þi face
With angelys þat byn bryȝt & clere
And holy soules þat þou bouȝtes dere
Into holy place.
And helpe me sone, þat I may see
Þe feyerhe[d] of þi face
With angelys þat byn bryȝt & clere
And holy soules þat þou bouȝtes dere
Into holy place.
