May - The Month of Mary (Part 18)
Grace was poured out over thy lips
When thou cam'st forth like the morning rising
Like the rainbow smiling over the clouds.
The daughters of Sion saw thee walking
And called thee blessed, eternal woman
Whose eyes are pools of mystery and mercy,
Whose mouth only utters words of wisdom,
Whose mother hands spread only blessing.
Blessed is thy womb that bore God's Son,
Who came leaping from the hills of heaven,
Fleet like a young roe to kiss thy brow
And call thee mother, and winter ceased on the earth;
Forever the Spirit's bride and the Father's
Beloved daughter unlike all others,
God's turtledove, God's white swan,
Woman clothed with the sun and the moon at thy feet,
And a crown of twelve stars upon thy head
Sparkling like gold and the hue of the crocus.
