Epicideum hathumodete iam portus habetNos ad huc iactet abyssus  Te lux vera tenet Nos tenebrae retinent Te cum virginibus comitans Quocumque eat agnum lilia cum violis colisis atque rosis  Nos cum coancilis nostris tumulo ecce tuopte flores spargentes ducimus excubias LAMENT FOR HATHUMODA ABBESS OF GANDESHEIM. You resting in safe harbor,  We towards this place come shaken in grief.  Your light is held bright in our memory, Even as darkness takes hold in our hearts. You walking the path of the Virgin,  We and our sisters follow your steps as we adorn them with lilies violets and roses.  And on your burial mound gently scatter buds as we silently keep your watch.
