A beautiful blossom thou wast born,
   Our human race, thou dost adorn;
O rooted in earth
               and flow'ring above,   
Thou art a mother,
               in spirit and  love...
Belonging to us,
                yea, thou be ours...
The prettiest one,
                the fairest of flowers...
