Patron of Beggars
We who beg for bread as we daily tread / Country lane and city street, / Let us kneel and pray on the broad highway / To the saint with the vagrant feet. / Our altar light is a buttercup bright, / And our shrine is a bank of sod, / But still we share St. Alexis' care, / The Vagabond of God.
