Fly, My Soul, with Mary Fly!
By St Alphonsus Maria de Liguori (1696-1787)
Most Zealous Doctor
(From “The Glories of Mary”)
Trans. Redemptoris Fathers, 1931)
Fly, my soul, with Mary fly!
Soar beyond the golden sky,
Mount to Mary’s throne on high.
Bright the queenly crown she won,
Sweet the reign she has begun,
As she stands beside her Son.
Fly, my soul, with Mary fly.
How endure this long delay?
Living here, how can I stay
From such beauty far away?
Fly, my soul, with Mary fly.
Sad my lot is here below;
Who can hope or life bestow?
Who will help or pity show?
Fly, my soul, with Mary fly.
