‘Two Wanderers’

 

St Samson, born in splendid wealth,

Chose instead liberating poverty,

And the Holy Gospel to heathens did he tell

As he journeyed from Wales unto Brittany.

 

Modern man, groaning under greater riches,

Forsakes the Christian Faith and all its ways,

And obeys each of his unsettling itches

In search of heavier golden chains.

Holy Ælfred the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð, unworthy though we are!

Anathema to the Union!
