O Wisdom!

O Wisdom's energy!

Whirling, you encircle

and everything embrace

in the single way of life.

Three wings you have:

one soars above into the heights,

one from the earth exudes,

and all about now flies the third.

Praise be to you, as is your due,

O Wisdom.

--Hildegard of Bingen

(from the Latin...

O virtus Sapientie!

que circuiens circuisti

comprehendendo omnia,

in una via que habet vitam.

Tres alas habens:

quarum una in altum volat,

et altera de terra sudat,

et tercia undique volat.

Laus tibi sit, sicut te decet,

O Sapientia.)
