Medieval Mary ​Garden Name

Virtue

Latin Botanical name

Burning Love, but mercifully
hear our humble supplications.
See Burning love with colors bright.
And star-shaped flowers, a pleasing sight!
And its very name to all may prove
that it is a type of ardent love.

O Mary! Queen of love most fair,
Deign with our hearts this love to share;
Inflame them with a holy zeal,
that love for God and thee we feel.

O God! May our hearts ne’er traitors be,
But give their first best love to Thee;
While creatures in us interest wake,
Teach us to love them for God’s sake.
