Theresa of Lisieux (1873-1897)

The Flower

All the earth with snow is covered,

Everywhere the white frosts reign;

Winter and his gloomy courtiers

Hold their court on earth again.

But for you has bloomed the FlowerOf the fields,

Who comes to earthFrom the fatherland of heaven,

Where eternal spring has birth.

Near the Rose of Christmas, Sister!

In the lowly grasses hide,

And be like the humble flowerets,

Of heaven’s King the lowly bride!
