Dizem que Maria cantava tão lindamente que, quando um dia se aventurou em um campo de batalha, os soldados inimigos largaram as armas, esqueceram a inimizade e se sentaram juntos apenas para ouvi-la; dizem que os pássaros se calaram, as árvores se desenraizaram e se aproximaram; e as pedras, é o que dizem, deixando o leito do rio subiram até à margem, enquanto o vento soprava somente para levar aquela voz melodiosa.

Mary is said to have sung so beautifully that, when one day she ventured on to a battlefield, the opposing soldiers dropped their weapons, forgot their enmity and sat down together just to listen to her; the birds are said to have fallen silent; the trees, to have uprooted themselves and moved closer; the stones, they say, rose from the riverbed and mounted the bank, and the wind blew only to carry her melodious voice.
