Medieval Mary ​Garden Name

Virtue

Latin Botanical name

The Orange-Lily warns us of the tempter to beware,
As it is his wicked pleasure For souls to lay a snare.
The Orange - Lily tells us From the world’s false charms to flee,
For if we hearken to its voice, Our souls shall ruined be.

The Orange-Lily whispers That Mary and her Son
would fain by trials prove us Ere yet our race is run
O Lord, in all temptations, grant us thy saving grace!
That our souls come forth as Lilies, then we shall see thy face!
