Stem and diadem of noble purple,
you who are in an breastplate like enclosure
Blooming, you flourished in another transformation
when Adam brought forth the whole race of human kind
Hail, hail
from your womb came forth a new life
by which Adam laid bare his sons.
Flower, you did not sprout forth from the dew
nor from the drops of rain,
and the air did not fly round above you,
but divine clarity created you at the noblest branch.
Stem, God foresaw your flourishing
on the first day of his creation.
And from his word he composed golden embodiments,
Noble virgin.
How great
in strength is the side of man
from which God initiated the form of a woman,
made in the image of each of his features
and the embrace of each of his creations
Therefore the heavenly organs sound
and all earthly wonders grow,
praiseworthy Mary,
because God beheld you with such love.
How sorely it must be lamented
and bemoaned, that misery flowed onto the woman
by reason of the serpent's advice.
For this woman,
whom God founded as Mother of all,
devoured off his limbs with the wounds of ignorance
and created great grief for her kin.
But dawn, from your womb
a new sun comes forth
which cleans away all the delinquencies of Eve
and offers greater blessing through you
because Eve impaired mankind.
Therefore, salvation, you who offered new light to mankind
gather the limbs of your daughters and sons
as a golden matrix
to heavenly harmony.
