In autumn Saint Michael with sword and with shield
Passes over meadow and orchard and field.
He’s on the path to battle ‘gainst darkness and strife–
He is the heavenly warrior protector of life.

And when the corn is cut and the meadows are bare

Lead us into battle and show us the way. Read more...
