How well I know the fountain that springs and runs
_____
That eternal fountain is hidden
_____
How well I know where it has its lair
_____
In this dark night of this life
_____
How well I know by faith the cold fountain
_____
Its origin I don't know, for it has none
_____
But I know that every origin comes from it
_____
I know that nothing can be so beautiful
_____
And that heavens and earth drink from it
_____
I well know that no ground is found in it
_____
And that nobody can wade through it
_____
Its clarity is never darkened
_____
And every light has come from it
_____
And its currents are so abundant
_____
That it waters heavens, hells, and people
_____
The current that is born from this fountain
_____
I well know that it's so capable and omnipotent
_____
The current that proceeds from these two
_____
I know that none of them precedes it
_____
Here the creatures are being called
_____
And from this water they gorge, even in the dark
_____
In this living fountain of desire
_____
In this bread of life, I see her
_____
In this eternal fountain she is hidden
_____
In this living bread to give me life
