Beskrivelse
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This is not a collection of devotional poems. It is not an attempt to rival O'rby Shipley's admirable Carmina Mariana or any other similar anthology. What I have tried to do is to bring together the poems in English that I like best that were written by Cath olics since the middle of the Nineteenth Century. There are in this book poems religious in theme; there are also love-songs and war-songs. But I think that it may be called a book of Catholic poems. For a Catholic is not a Catholic only when he prays; he is a Catholic in all the thoughts and actions of his life. And when a Catholic attempts to reflect in words some of the Beauty of which as a poet he is conscious, he cannot 'be far from prayer and adoration.
