Innocence, repentance—sun and shower—
The diamond or the sapphire is her dower.
MAY
| Natal stone | Emerald. |
| Guardian angel | Amriel. |
| His talismanic gem | Carbuncle. |
| Special apostle | Bartholomew. |
| His gem | Chrysolite. |
| Zodiacal sign | Gemini. |
| Flower | Hawthorn. |
Who first beholds the light of day
In spring’s sweet flow’ry month of May,
And wears an emerald all her life,
Shall be a loved and happy wife.
No happier wife and mother in the land
Than she with emerald shining on her hand.
