Saints in Sussex

by Sheila Kaye-Smith

But Andrew goes to the North.”

St. Philip & St. James to St. Simon & St. Jude

Said the May Day Saints to the Grey Day Saints,

Singing across the year:

How is it with you in October?

With us the meadows are green,

And the grass is warm with the sun,

And strown with the golden pence

Of the coltsfoot, our offertory.

The tapers are lit for our feast—
