Poetry, Religious Holidays Upon Saint David’s Day Date: March 1, 2020Author: Bobby Dare we remember upon this day E’re the Fifth of Henry came Welsh by birth, & Christian first In the Synod of Brefi, his fame. Saint David of Wales, symbolic dove As Arthur’s nephew, grand Non and Sant, with his parent’s love Spread Gospel through the land. Did he preach & teach & read & pray, Ending Pelagius’ advance? No meat or beer to be had each day, Yearning to bring God’s plans. Yellow on black his cross does fly On this his day of passing. Under foot a hill did rise, Reputed dove, his shoulder clasping. Shakespeare’s Henry wore a leek, as Entertained on Monmouth caps. Lights that warned of Death’s slow creep, From a day ahead, perhaps. Into sainthood, by Callixtus he’s sent Never waiver’d the path he trod. Remember this day, our Dewi Sans Into the hands of Mighty God.
