Stalwart Crispina

by Walt Garlington (October 2023)

Saint Crispina,
Before the Roman judge.
Saint Crispina,
From Christ her God
She would not budge.
–
Condemned to die,
Her God she blessed.
Condemned to die,
Before the blade
She stretched her neck.
–
New tyrants arise,
The Faith they threaten.
New tyrants arise,
Before the Science,
Their knees are bowin’.
–
Christian apostasy,
Their dearest gain.
Christian apostasy,
Spurn it, believer;
Up to Crispina today!
