Prayer to the Virgin
Oh gentle Lady of the stars,
who bore the Son,
Oh Lady of the moondust sky,
who bore the One,
who from the twelve-sung Heavens came.
For one who cries,
cries!
Oh Lady of the sickle-throning moon,
of your pity tender,
pray,
oh pray for me.
Oh gentle Lady,
pray,
pray for me.
(c) 1993 Audrey Vaughan
