The Miracle of the Roses
André Gonçalves, c. 1735-40, Church of Menino Deus, Lisbon |
They are Roses, my lord!
They are Roses, my lord!
What I bring in my lap
These are words of love
about the good deeds I do.
To the most needy
I distribute alms and bread
I make envious and the king angry
With my good heart.
Miraculously, the bread that was hidden
Turned into roses
King D. Dinis was surprised
I shut up petty and envious minds.
In a legend recorded on paper
I didn't worry about the expenses of the royal
treasury
So the people proclaimed me holy saint Isabel
The queen of Portugal.
