QUEEN MARY OF HEAVEN

She sits in God's garden,

Queen Mary of Heaven,

Where birds sing their steven

Hid in the cool tree;

And all the gold day-time,

From morning till even,

Earth's little strange children

Play round her knee.

Earth's lost little children

She binds to her bosom,

Each wind-gathered blossom,

Till mothers are free

To steal to God's Garden

And name them and loose them—

In Eden's green garden,

'Neath Mary's tree.
