Maria walks amid the thorn,
Kyrie Eleison.
Maria walks amid the thorn,
Which seven years
No leaf hath bourn.
Jesus and Maria.
What in her heart doth Mary bear?
Kyrie Eleison
A little child doth Mary bear
Beneath her heart,
He nestles there.
Jesus and Maria.
And as the two are passing near,
Kyrie Eleison.
Lo, roses on the thorn appear!
Lo, roses on the thorn appear!
Jesus and Maria.
Maria walks amid the thorn,
Kyrie Eleison.
