That wry and sneaky serpent,
Who procured that yes through Eve,
Who to darkness became a handmaid,
When by that tree was then deceived.
The crunch then of the Apple
Between the jaws of the virgin tossed
Caused all humanity to grapple,
Be fallen, blind and lost.
It be true to Gods economy
The balance of the world
Both the fall and the fortune
Come to humanity through a young girl.
The yes of Eve is nullified
By the Yes of Mary Virgin Queen
Humanity re-purified
Liberated and cleaned.
The crunch then of the serpents’ head
The skull to meet the jaws –
Under the dainty foot of Mary
Who Her Jesus so adores.
That old snake forswore the doom of man
And entered through a girl –
It is fit to Gods economy that
Who should defeat him should be this pearl.
No other loved Jesus better
No saint a closer bond can boast
Than that of gentle Mary
Who loved her son the most.
All will come to sit with Her,
At the foot of Calvary’s cross –
Her intercession to defer
And protect us from that loss –
Of one thief gone to damnation,
The other safe in grace -
One led to liberation
Inseparable now from Gods embrace.
She prays so for the children,
That we may then incline,
To procure the gift of forgiveness
While there is still yet time.
Her Hope Her Faith Her Charity
Are the workbook to discover
She teaches us better imitation
Of Her Son than any other.
I love Mary, & on this, the 13th of May,
I sing of all her sweetness and
Recommending her heart I say –
Turn then quick to Mary
And through Her Son be saved.
