Hildegard of Bingen Quote

O dawn, you washed them away
in a woman who was clean.
O form of woman, sister of Wisdom,
how great is your glory!
For in you there rose a life unquenchable
that death shall never stifle.
Wisdom exalted you to make
all creatures fairer in your beauty
than they were when the world was born.

Ad Vitam S. Ruperti Epilogus 6, Pitra 364.
