E for Saint Edmund; at Oxford one day

After school he went out in the meadows to play,

And a little white Figure stood by him and cried,

"Don't you know me, dear EDMUND, your friend and your guide?

I am with you by day, I am with you by night,

When you sleep, when you wake, when you read, when you write."

On his forehead four letters proclaimed the Good News,

"This is JESUS of NAZARETH, King of the Jews."

EDMUND lived to be Primate of England, and died

On the throne of Saint Augustine had once occupied.

D for Saint Dominic, Spanish by birth,

Who shone like a star in all parts of the earth.

In France there were heretics called Albingenses

Who poisoned the Faith with their lying pretences,

And spread their ridiculous nonsense about;

But Saint Dominic went and soon hunted them out.

Then with Lawrence and Bertrand and Peter Cellani

He started his Order of Dominicani,

Or Domini Canes, the Dogs of the LORD,

Who go hunting for souls in the might of the Word.

The MASTER they follow in black-and-white coat

To catch men by the heart instead of the throat.

Our LADY much loved this dear Knight of the LORD,

And her Rosary served for his Buckler and Sword.

C for St. Christopher, loved of the LORD,

Who lived all alone in a hut by a ford;

When travelers came there by night or by day,

He carried them over and showed them the way.

One night when the weather was wintry and wild,

He heard his name called by the voice of a child:

"O CHRISTOPHER, carry me, carry me home:

O Christopher, Christoper, Christopher, come."

The Saint was surprised when the crossing began

To find Him as heavy as any grown man;

And when they were over he found to his joy

It was CHRIST he had carried instead of a boy.

St. Benedict

for Saint Benedict, Hermit and Sage,

Whose Rule has been kept by most Monks since his age.

Cyrilla, his Governess, took him from home

To learn how to read at a day-school in Rome,

Where he went to his lessons with satchel and pen,

And rode back by the Tiber to supper again.

He loved contemplation so much that one day

He agreed with Cyrilla to run right away;

And for years in the mountains he fasted and prayed 

Till the praise of the neighbours made BENET afraid;

So he wandered and wandered, but stayed in the end

In a cave near ROMANUS the Monk, his good friend.

Before long many Monks gathered round him to pray,

And his Rule and his Monks are still mighty to-day.

O Blessed Saint BENET, I wish I could be

Half as good for one year as you were sixty-three.

  "A is ANTONY of PADUA, a Friar wise and kind;

He never had a penny, but he never seemed to mind;

He was very fond of reading, but the book he read the most

Was the book that tells of GOD, the Father, Son and Holy Ghost;

He was very fond of children, but the Child he loved the best

Was the little Infant JESUS, as He lay on Mary's breast;

And once when he was reading with the Gospel on a stand

Little JESUS stood upon it and caressed him with His hand.

Now that ANTONY'S in Heaven, if you ever lose your toys,

I advise you to invoke him, for he's good to girls and boys."
