The May Magnificat (IV)

Mary's growing union with the heart, mind and soul of the incarnating Son of God in her womb was expressed poetically by Frances Thompson's in his "May Magnificat": Ask of her, that mighty mother: ... What is Spring? - Growth in every thing - All things rising, all things sizing Mary sees, sympathizing 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. Well but there was more than this: Spring's universal bliss Much, had much to say To offering Mary May.
