Subject: Lyr Req: Bring flowers of the rarest ...
Anyone got all the words to this? I can't find it in the dt ... it's a crossover pagan-christian hymn to the Virgin/May Queen we used to sing when I was a kid. Irish Catholic tradition:

Bring flowers of the fairest
Bring blossom the rarest
From garden and hillside
And woodland and dale
Our voices are ringing
Our glad hearts are singing
The praise of the lovliest flower of the May

Oh Mary we crown thee with blossom today
Queen of the angels and Queen of the May (x2)
