THE CHAPEL ROAD, by                    
Last Line: It knows the way to god.
Subject(s): Towns


The chapel road is wise and still,
And pious people say,
That every flower that blossoms there
Has learned the way to pray.

So holy is the chapel road,
The old folk tell the young,
That every tree bows down its head
When Angelus is rung.

The pagan roads dance into town,
A laugh in every sod.
The chapel road is still and wise,
It knows the way to God.
