‘Honeysuckle’

 

Profusive in its growth, and rambunctious,

Tumbling down in tangles

From the tops of the trees,

Leaves dyed with the deep green of spring –

Deep, like one sees in the sky at night –

Flowers of soft yellow and purest white,

Crowning oak and elm

With cornets of silver and gold

And covering the forest floor with a carpet

For the Lord to walk upon

When He comes in the cool of the evening,

Scenting the breeze with sweet incense,

 . . .

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

Anathema to the Union!
