end to end

Friend, what do you want of me?

I contain all that was, what is, and what will be.

I hold all, standing tall.

Take everything from me you please.

I won't say no if you want all.

Say, friend, what do you want of me?

I am love.  Love fills me end to end.

What you desire to fill

Your soul, we both desire, friend.

Say to us nakedly your will.

Marguerite was part of a community of Beguines.  Some of her writing attacked the established clergy.  She and her works were condemned and she was publicly burned around 1300.
