Rosanna Leprohon, a Montreal novelist and poet, was among the early writers of English Canada, and this posthumous collection gathers her verse. It opens with sacred poems on Abraham’s sacrifice, the stable of Bethlehem, the boyhood of Christ, the woman at the well and the ten lepers, and goes on to ballads of knights and vigils and poems of home and country.
