James Stephens - Westland RowJames Stephens - Westland Row
Work rating: Medium


      Every Sunday there`s a throng       Of pretty girls, who trot along       In a pious, breathless state       (They are nearly always late)       To the Chapel, where they pray       For the sins of Saturday.       They have frocks of white and blue,       Yellow sashes they have too,       And red ribbons show each head       Tenderly is ringleted;       And the bell rings loud, and the       Railway whistles urgently.       After Chapel they will go,       Walking delicately slow,       Telling still how Father John       Is so good to look upon       And such other grave affairs       As they thought of during prayers.
