There is Nothing Told

but that she had once become engaged,

and an angel addressed her and said:

"You are blessed among all your kind."

On this day all earth and all paradise

join in naming you happy and blessed;

Virgin Mary, blessed are you.

but that she had brought into the world,

in the land of Judea, her;

for some shepherds have passed on this tale. (Refrain)

but that she had searched for three long days

for her child who was busy elsewhere,

and her heart then did not understand. (Refrain)

but that she at Cana was a guest,

and that Jesus changed water to wine,

so that all might believe who he was. (Refrain)

but that she was standing by the cross

when her son stretched his arms out on high,

and met death with a thief on each side. (Refrain)

but that she was one in prayer with those

upon whom tongues of fire did descend,

and Spirit baptized them with flame. (Refrain)
