THERE IS NO ROSE, a Christmas Carol, was written in the late Middle Ages, c.1420. It's a macaronic song, meaning it is written in two languages: Middle English and Latin.
The great mystery of the nativity is portrayed in THERE IS NO ROSE. The wonderment of heaven and earth in the same space of Mary's womb(resmiranda/marvelous thing) leads to the revelation of the Holy Trinity(paresforma/of equal form). There rejoicing of the angels and shepherds(gaudeamus/let us rejoice) culminates in a commitment to follow the birth of Christ (transeamus/let us crossover).
