Original text and translations

Latin text

Ave ros dulcedinis,
mater pulchritudinis.
Rosa sine spina,

Via rectitudinis,
Turris fortitudinis,
vitae medicina.

Ave sped fidelium,
castitatis lilium,
Victoriae palma

Caelesti sacrarium,
dulce refrigerium,
Dei mater alma

Eia me visita,
atque sursum visita,
dulcis mater Dei.

Pietatis solita
pro me Christum rogita,
semper memmor mei

Ut meis reatibus
Tuis parcat precibus
Auctor pietatis

ac mundanis sordibus,
et mihi cum civibus
vivere beatis.
Amen.
