Snow in Paisley — version 2

Catholic

And comes her pure white blanket laid
around the river Cart
Across the darkened thoughts of man
a Love which does impart

And o´er the bogs and swamps there´s ice
up to St. Mirin´s door
Her voice says “Man with all your cares
be still for just an hour”

The darkened views of waning health,
exchanged for winter cheer
Her Love reflects a gentle calm
upon the town so dear

And on the braes the deer are seen
walking proudly by
For no man can touch their safety now
upon their mountain high

Upon the tombs of rested men
lies layers of icy sense
Reflecting that the One great Mind
preserves their innocence

And by the wall a Girl does kneel
with roses by her side
a whispered prayer for all mankind
which Angels take on high
