-A Spotless Rose is blowing,
-Sprung from a tender root,
-Of ancient seers' foreshowing,
-Of Jesse promised fruit;
-Its fairest bud unfolds to light
-Amid the cold, cold winter,
-And in the dark midnight.
-The Rose which I am singing,
-Whereof Isaiah said,
-Is from its sweet root springing
-In Mary, purest Maid;
-For through our God's great love and might,
-The Blessed Babe she bare us
-In a cold, cold winter's night.}}
