Es flog ein Täublein weiße vom Himmel herab in engelischem Kleide zu einer Jungfrau zart; es grüßet sie so hübsch und säuberlich, ihr Seel war hochgezieret, gesegnet ward ihr Leib. Kyrieleison. Der Himmel ward erschlossen durch Gottes Schlüssel klar, Maria ist der Garten, da er gewachsen war, der Heilig Geist den Garten besser hat, gar schön ist er gezieret mit göttlicher Majestät. Kyrieleison. So hat der Ruf ein Ende wohl hie zu dieser Stund, so wolln wir Gott nur bitten aus unsres Herzens Grund, dass er uns allen wolle gnädig sein, er woll uns auch behüten vor der heißen Hölle Pein. Kyrieleison.

Una coloma blanca davallà volant del cel amb indument angèlic vers una delicada verge; la va saludar tan gentilment i pulcra que la seva ànima s’ornà a pler, i beneït fou el seu ventre. Kyrie eleison. El cel s’obrí i s’aclarí gràcies a la clau de Déu, Maria és al jardí on ella creixé, l’Esperit Sant ha ornat ben bonic el jardí amb divina majestat. Kyrie eleison. Així s’acabà l’aparició allà en aquell moment, i per això volem pregar Déu del fons del nostre cor, perquè ens vulgui ser clement i ens preservi del foc de l’infern. Kyrie eleison.
