1. The abodes of Makarios and the family of Nemer,
You have left for an even greater abode.

2. And after you the children cry,
Afflicted, your form embodied at home.

3. Refinement mourns you with the tears of mist,
And piety weeps for you with tears of blood.

4. If you would compose for it a date in time,
Say that God has chosen Mary.
