1. In shadows you reposed before her being
In storehouses, until leaves turn sere.

2. Then you inhabited countries, no man there,
Nor embryo, nor clot yet did appear.

3. Pure essence, who rode the ark while surging
Deluge engulfed all, leaving none to hear.

4. You travel from resolute loins to womb
When time passes, a sign shines bright and clear.
