Hail Holy Queen

Who is this who comes forth like the dawn, as beautiful as the moon, as resplendent as the sun? (Sg 6:10)

They say that when her time came, our Lady was borne up to heaven in the hands of angels, borne through a blue sky that was warm with the noonday heat and yet was pale beside the blueness of her mantle. The legions of saints waited her coming, glorious in garments scarlet and white, with burning haloes. And before them all came Gabriel, his mantle dazzling silver in the sunlight. Bowing low, he gave her a lily for a scepter. She passed the multitude of the angels and saints and came at last to a place of solitude. 

And here her Son came to her. He was a king in a robe of rose, and his wounds were jewels that shone, and he crowned her with a great crown set with seven brilliant stars for her life's seven sorrows.
