Performed a tone below written pitch.

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

Quasi flos rosarum in diebus vernis,
et quasi lilium quod est in transitu aquae est in ascensu Maria.
Quae verbum in principio apud Deum,
de superna caeli arce suscepit.

=== ENGLISH ===

Today the Virgin Mary is taken up into heaven;
she who was with God the Word in the beginning
is received by the highest heavens.

As the rose in the days of spring,
and as the lily which floats upon the water,
so is Mary in her Assumption.
She who was with God the Word in the beginning
is received by the highest heavens.
