O rubor sanguinis
Hildegard von Bingen
O rubor sanguinis,
O bloody red
qui de excelso illo fluxisti
that flowed from up that height
quod divinitas tetigit: tu flos es
divinity has touched: a bloom you are
quem hyems de flatu serpentis
that winter with the serpent's blast
numquam lesit.
has never marred.
