Queen Of The May
Chris (hubby) on the left is going through a friends bees in the orchard by his house. 25 years ago, the same person (on the right) set us up with bees as he didn't have time to keep them due to work commitments. He is now retired and setting up again and has just aquired a swarm.
the apple blossom looked amazing and although it's not Hawthorn i thought of the hymn 'Queen Of the May' just as they observed the queen.
Lyics to the chorus of this hymn below.
QUEEN OF THE MAY (aka BRING FLOWERS OF THE RAREST)
(Mary E. Walsh - 1883 / Based on the
Traditional 13th Century Catholic Hymn)
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today
Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May
O Mary! we crown thee with blossoms today
Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May
