Happy Mother’s Day
May 8, 2016
Wilton Diptych, 1395
The Wreath with which we are to Crown Our Lady Queen of May
We’ll twine the rose that early blows
With the lily of the vale;
And violet we won’t forget,
That scents the morning gale.
Chorus
Flowers are springing, birds are singing,
The earth is bright and gay,
Then let us weave a blooming wreath
For Mary, Queen of May.
2.
Oour floral crown we’ll place around
Her brows so heavenly fair;
And it will prove how much we love,
Though gleams no diamond there.
Chorus
Flowers are springing, birds are singing,
The earth is bright and gay,
Then let us weave a blooming wreath
For Mary, Queen of May.
3.
For rose will tell we love her well
Who loved us unto death;
By lily flower we’ll own her power
To win her sinless wreath.
Chorus
Flowers are springing, birds are singing,
The earth is bright and gay,
Then let us weave a blooming wreath
For Mary, Queen of May.
