Catholic
Auld Simon, a medieval Church in #Lochwinnoch #ourladyofpaisley #catholic O gentle bell, which rests within the tower The clock is wound to guard each sleeping hour Upon the Johnshill Brae where birds take flight Our Mother, Keep us safe tonight Shadows long are cast upon the gates Darkened thoughts of hopes deferred and hate Dear Lady illuminate my thought with golden threads And give me purer, higher, better paths to tread Of youth who drink and dance upon the tombs, Amidst the birds as sunset hour looms Gentle Lady who always knows us best Keep us within your ever gentle breast If my old brow does gusts of snow impart A wintry breeze does surely hit the heart Mother, show me snowdrops during that cold spell And fill my ears with Love as dear Auld Simon´s bell
