Marydale by Roger Cain |
Marydale nestles on a new-mown hill At the end of a tree-lined lane. Catholic echoes in the air so still Seem to whisper a blest refrain. Mirroring shimmers of a West-bound sun Is a lake like a golden plate. Travelers, weary from a long hard run Find a respite from life's cold fate. Statuesque, Mary beckons them within To the safety of a cloister cell. Whispering gently turn away from sin, Come and dip your cup at the well. Freshening spirit underneath the cross At the top of the entrance porch, Promises cleansing from the World's dull dross With the fire of Love's burning torch.
