October 1919

S.E.

Want to know how my days proceed

here in the land where insults reign?

I use my hands to guide a saw,

meanwhile my heart utters a name.

All you would need to do is call

around – you’d realise! At night

I sing like I was sawing through

something quite different from wood.

Free until now, my hands can’t get

past their surprise, holding a saw.

Our Lady of the Snowstorms sets

snowstorm on snowstorm hurtling past.

November 1919

We take the road of ordinary folk

without pretensions, folk who honour God,

not bound by ties, indifferent to fashion,

noble in our bodies and our souls.
