TEXT
O branch of freshest green, O hail! Within the windy gusts of saints
upon a quest you swayed and sprouted forth.
When it was time, you blossomed in your boughs—“Hail, hail!” you heard, for in you seeped the sunlight’s warmth like balsam’s sweet perfume.
For in you bloomed so beautiful a flow’r, whose fragrance wakened all the spices from their dried-out stupor.
And they all appeared in full viridity.
Then rained the heavens dew upon the grass and all the earth was cheered,
for from her womb she brought forth fruit and for the birds up in the sky have nests in her.
Then was prepared that food for humankind, the greatest joy of feasts! O Virgin sweet, in you can ne’er fail any joy.
All this Eve chose to scorn.
But now, let praise ring forth unto the Highest!
