IT'S MAY

Lovely Lady Dressed in Blue 

Lovely Lady dressed in blue 

 Teach me how to pray! 

 God was just your little boy, 

 Tell me what to say! 

 Did you lift Him up, sometimes, 

 Gently on your knee? 

 Did you sing to Him the way 

 Mother does to me? 

Did you hold His hand at night? 

 Did you ever try T

elling stories of the world? 

 O! And did He cry? 

 Do you really think He cares 

 If I tell Him things ------- 

 Little things that happen? 

And Do the Angels' wings 

 Make a noise? 

And can He hear Me if I speak low? 

Does He understand me now? '

Tell me -------for you know. 

 Lovely Lady dressed in blue ------- 

Teach me how to pray! 

 God was just your little boy, 

 And you know the way.

..........

All things rising, all things sizing 

Mary sees, sympathising 

With that world of good, 

Nature's motherhood. 

 Their magnifying of each its kind 

With delight calls to mind 

How she did in her stored 

Magnify the Lord.

Gerard Manley Hopkins
