Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of S. Elizabeth of Hungary: Duchess of Thuringia
Tell us how of old our saintly mothers Schooled themselves by vigil, fast, and prayer; Learnt to love as Jesus loved before them, While they bore the Cross which poor men bear.
Tell us how our stout crusading fathers Fought and died for God, and not for gold; Let their love, their faith, their boyish daring, Distance-mellowed, gild the days of old.
