MARY

Thou an epitome of beauty,

Bound by divine duty,

Thou, an esteemed resident of Paradise,

From you, a noble son did arise,

Immaculate as a drop of dew,

Unshakable as a mountain,

Thou, the pure form of a woman,

Bearer if heartrending pains,

I picture you, coming to the crowd,

With the child in thy arms that spoke,

Dead hearts that awoke,

Thy faith steady, soul strong as ever,

And a body sore, unhealthy and weary,

With all respect and love I say,

Peace be upon you, Mary.
