Hail, Virgin, dearest Mary! Our lovely Queen of May, O spotless blessed Lady, Our lovely Queen of May. Thy children humbly bending, A round thy shrine so dear; With heart and voice ascending, Sweet Mary hear our prayer. Hail, Virgin, dearest Mary! Our lovely Queen of May, O spotless blessed Lady, Our lovely Queen of May. Behold earth's blossoms springing, In beauteous form and hue; All nature gladly bringing, Her sweetest charms to you. Hail, Virgin, dearest Mary! Our lovely Queen of May, O spotless blessed Lady, Our lovely Queen of May. We'll gather fresh, bright flowers, To bind our fair Queen's brow; From gay and verdant bowers, We haste to crown the now. Hail, Virgin, dearest Mary! Our lovely Queen of May, O spotless blessed Lady, Our lovely Queen of May. And now our blesed Mother, Smile on our festal day; Accept our wreath of flowers, And be our Queen of May. Hail, Virgin, dearest Mary! Our lovely Queen of May, O spotless blessed Lady, Our lovely Queen of May.
