Medieval Mary ​Garden Name

Virtue

Latin Botanical name

The dying oak with ivy wreathed,
Shows life amid decay;
So hope in Mary brightly burned
when darkest seemed the way.

Firm as a rock, on Calvary’s height,
She stood beneath the Cross,
resigned to give her Son to death,
though grieving for her loss.

Her gaze was ever fixed on God,
In him her hope reposed;
She never doubted in her trust
until her tried life closed.
