Virgin, grace of the forests, | |||
Heard on the twin breezes, | |||
Which oft incline to give ear to | |||
This one, who proclaims aloud: [Love] | |||
He who was born of a Virgin, the Exalted [the Lamb]. | |||
Say, please, why cry forth [He loves] | |||
On this soft pillow that Your pious Mother lays out [on the dark night]? | |||
Or is your faint cry occasioned [your daring] | |||
By the one who led from heaven [the revolt*] | |||
Though victory is declared, [will conquer] | |||
Undying, [Arising]! | |||
To love this, the same Christ, above all [to Him.] | |||
What greater burden to love [than to hold back], | |||
Let it blossom [Say now!] | |||
Now here lies the very God [It is He] | |||
Come with me in thanksgiving, grateful [shall you be] | |||
Let us happily make our way towards the manger [let us go] | |||
Small gifts shall I bear [I will bring]. | |||
(* a reference to Lucifer’s fall] | |||
