O rubor sanguinis


O rubor sanguinis,
qui de excelso illo fluxisti,
quod divinitas tetigit,

tu flos es,
quem hiems de flatu serpentis
num quam lesit.

O ruby blood

 

O ruby blood
which flowed from on high
where divinity touched.

You are a flower
that the winter
of the serpent's breath
can never injure.
