Omnis mundi creatura
quasi liber et pictura
nobis est in speculum;
nostrae vitae, nostrae mortis,
nostri status, nostrae sortis
fidele signaculum.

Nostrum statum pingit rosa,
nostri status decens glosa,
nostrae vitae lectio;

quae dum primo mane floret,
defloratus flos effloret
vespertino senio.

Translation:

Every creature on earth
resembles a book and picture,
like looking in a mirror.
Our life, our death,
our position in life, our destiny,
faithful symbol.

The rose reflects our position,
a fitting inerpretation,
lessons about our life.

While it blooms in the early morning,
its blossoms fade,
and petals fall with age.

Our life, our death,
our position in life, our destiny,
faithful symbol.
