With Harp and Lute

This carefully curated collection of Catholic poems and songs is organized under the following topics: Rhymes and Runes; From Convent Cell and Cloister; Young Voices, Olden Times; In Honor of Mary; Liturgical Sequences; and Psalms and Hymns of Praise. The author includes commentary on each poem and includes a wide variety of poets from across the centuries. Great for recitation and enjoyment Jennings Thompson says: It is not the purpose of this book to present to the child all of the Church's treasures-rather to open here and there a door, let him hear afar the sound of harp and lute and follow, if he will, the lovely music.
