Classic Poem

Gabriel that Angel bright,
Brighter than the sunlight,
From Heaven to Earth he took his flight.
Regina coeli, laetare.

In Nazareth, in that city,
Before Mary he fell on knee;
And said: “Mary, God is with thee.”
Regina coeli, laetare.

Hail be thou Mary of might the most!
In thee shall light the Holy Ghost
To save the Soules that were lost.
Regina coeli, laetare.

Hail be thou Mary, Maiden sheen!
From the fiends that be so keen,
Keep us and save us from all tene.
Regina coeli, laetare.
