The Crown Imperial
Mary's Glory
Medieval Mary Garden Name
Emblem of the Glory of Mary
Virtue
Fritillaria Imperialis
Latin Botanical name
The Imperial Crown with its wondrous bells
Such a beautiful story of Mary tells!
Her Conceptions Immaculate first it sings,
Then her honor as Virgin and Mother ruins.
It tells how her Son, her each wish did obey,
How she stands between man and his God to-day.
Her diadem glitters with marvelous sheen
In the home of the blessed, of which she is Queen.
O Mary, my Mother! Most lovely, most mild!
Look down now upon me, poor, weak, lowly child
From this land of exile, I call upon thee,
My Queen, and my Mother: my trust is in thee!
