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.
