O Magnum Mysterium ~ (Begijnhof, Amsterdam)
“Let no-one be a stranger
Within these walls”
For an afternoon concert
Of Portuguese songs
By Dutch voices
We enter this beautiful
Little English church
Hidden in an inner court
Of sparkling Amsterdam
Begijnhof
Where since the dark ages
Lay sisters used to find refuge
– O magnum mysterium –
