Original text and translations

Latin text

Virgo Maria hodie ad coelum assumpta est,
quae Verbum in principio apud Deum
de superna coeli arce suscepit.

Quasi flos rosarum in diebus vernis,
et quasi lilium quod est in transitu acquae,
est in ascensu Maria,
quae Verbum in principio apud Deum
de superna coeli arce suscepit.
