A Poem for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception
(in honor of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, December 8)
THE CORONATION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN
Lovely Mary, Mary kind and sweet,
Merciful, a crescent at your feet,
Mary-heart delighted with your Son,
Queen of heaven endless and begun
Mary patient, diligent and mild,
Mother-love united with your Child,
Wear the crown of all felicity,
Gladness of the Holy Trinity
Crown of chastity and temperance,
Crown of clemency and continence,
Crown of light and everlasting day,
Kingdom crown which nothing can delay
Crown of stars whose shinings never cease,
Crown of love and never-ending peace,
Crown of innocence and joyfulness,
Mary crown of heaven, heaven-blessed
Pavel Chichikov
