Rosa [English translation]

You are divine and gracious

A majestic statue

In love!

Sculptured by God

And formed ardently

From the soul of the most beautiful flower

Of the most active odor

That on the life is the favorite

Of the hummingbird

If God

Was so clement to me

Here on this ambient

Of light, formed on a screen

Dazzling and beautiful...

Your heart

Speared as mine is

Nailed and crucified

Over the rose and the cross

Of your breathless chest

You are the ideal form

Masterful statue

Oh! Perennial soul!

Of my first love

Sublime love...

You have been made by God

The sovereign flower

You are a creation of God

That buries, in every heart

A love

The laughter, the faith, the pain

In aromatic sandalwoods

Full of taste

In so doleful voices

Like a dream in a bloom

You are a dairy star

You are the mother of royalty

You are everything, concluding

That has the most beautiful

In every glare

Of the sacred Nature

Forgive me

If I dare confessing to you

I shall always be in love with you

Oh! Flower!

My chest doesn't resist

Oh! My God!

How sad is

The uncertainty of a love

That makes me more grieve than

Waiting

To conduct you to an altar someday

Swear at the feet of the Almighty

In touching prayers

Of pain, and receive the anoiting

Of your gratitude

After redeeming my cravings

In clouds of kisses

I shall envolve you

Until I perish

Of all the wilthering
