Guest guest Posted February 27, 2002 Report Share Posted February 27, 2002 Dear all, Gerhard Tersteegen, the Christian lover of God who was a contemporary of Johann Sebastian Bach, is probably one of the least known among the German mystics. Here is one of his poems. Michael -- Within, within, O turn Thy spirit's eyes, and learn The wandering senses gently to control; Thy dearest friend dwells deep within thy soul, And asks thyself of thee, That heart and mind and sense he may make whole In perfect harmony. -- Gerhard Tersteegen (1697-1769) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
