Here's an English translation. The Latin/English is in the link below. I saw her, beautiful, like a dove, rising over streams of water; her beguiling aroma was too much, and like a day in Spring she was surrounded by blossoms of roses and lily of the valley. Who is she who comes forth like the rising dawn, lovely as the moon, bright as the sun, frightening as an army camp's swords in a line?
This is really the apogée of High Renaissance polyphony.

I saw her, beautiful, like a dove,
rising over streams of water;
her beguiling aroma was too much,
and like a day in Spring
she was surrounded by
blossoms of roses
and lily of the valley.
Who is she who comes forth
like the rising dawn,
lovely as the moon,
bright as the sun,
frightening as an army camp's
swords in a line?
Absolutely beautiful 💖
