Blesid Are Thou
Among Women
The dirt of the seed is said
Planted I will twist it back to you
And comformationn
Is my knowledge
My lady

AI Interpretation
The speaker addresses a lady among women, names dirt and seed, and associates planting and comformationn with knowledge.
The speaker borrows a blessing-like address and joins it to planting and returning something to the addressee. The title and address permit a religious echo without fixing the lady's identity.
'Blesid Are Thou' continues 'Among Women / The dirt of the seed is said / Planted I will twist it back to you', ending 'My lady'.
A play on the Ave Maria turned into a private vow; Blesid and comformationn are kept as typed.
