Senses and Soul
Description
An account of the resource
Author: D. Barron
Air: Táim i mo Shuí
Táim i mo Shuí: I am sitting. The pace and complexity of our modern world is often too much for us. The distress and strain of life fragments our sense of wellbeingng; our human nature is dismembered. We are unhappy and discontented. We need to make time for ourselves to recreate our selves, in all our human potential and richness. We need to sit, to take time to allow our human nature reconnect with God’s Nature, to allow Nature to restore us towards our full humanity.
Lyrics:
When the scream of the city has dazzled and frazzled my brain
And the strain and distress everyday seems just the same
I return to Nature seeking escape from the race
And make time for my mind to refind my senses and soul.
When my eyes are scarred by the grasp of the screen’s gaudy glare,
Tv, PC, iPhone and iPad all reign the same,
My eyes seek the green, the azure, the purple, the grey
And make time for my mind to refind my senses and soul.
When my ears are numbed by the drum of the city’s loud wail
And the voices all talking at me are dazing my brain
I long for the whisper of wind or the lapping of lake
And make time for my mind to refind my senses and soul.
When the fumes of the city pollute my nostrils and skin
And the stench seems to ooze from every pore in my being
I seek the embrace of wild wave or high mountain wind
And make time for my mind to refind my senses and soul.

Lyrics:
I once was a house, more a home,
Where my families felt safe and secure;
Now they’re scattered all over the globe
And I’m left here lone, broken and poor.
My roof that once sheltered them all
Now lies broken and bare to the sky;
No rafter or thatch now at all,
Thorn and ivy grow chimney stack high.
My walls once were sturdy and strong,
Now they’re crumbling, like old broken bones;
One time whistling the family song,
Now the wínd whines, so lonely: sorrow!
My windows are shattered and gone,
Poor, blind, sightless eyes to the sky;
Long ago they glistened and shone
Like my childrens’ bright eyes inside.
My hearth now lies empty and cold
Where once my fire glowed so bright;
My chimney where once warm smoke flowed,
Now a tombstone for times long gone by.
Yes, I once was a home, a warm place
Where my families enjoyed happy days;
Now they’ve parted and gone their own ways
And I’m cold here, a lonely old place.

All across the country are empty, derelict houses that once were vibrant centres of family life. What stories might those old ruins tell, if they could speak!

Song For Scout
Author: D. Barron
Singer : Eric Butler
Air: Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore
Description
An account of the resource
You ask me why some people try to be better than the rest
When underneath the fancy clothes we’re all the same undressed;
Big house or farm or costly car, that’s what we call success:
True values lost, and at what cost, in the rat race of excess.
And then there’s why some people try to own all for themselves,
Be it land or gold, new wealth or old, life’s all about one’s wealth;
While many starve under cold stars: no house, no bed, no food;
It’s hardly fair the rich don’t care when we’re all just passing through.
You wonder why some children cry, their lives devoid of joy
While others feast and grow obese and ease fills up their lives;
Poor children weep in broken streets, their families scattered far;
No peaceful sleep, no glow of hope shines with each morning star.
You ask me to explain to you skin colours that we wear,
Why some think they’re superior to those of different race.
White or black or yellow hue, or any shade between,
When we’re pierced and then we bleed it’s all red blood we bleed.
You question why under God’s sky so many creeds proclaim
To be the one and only way, Man’s destiny and Fate.
They talk of love and dignity but bring hatred to our streets:
If only they would walk the talk and practise what they preach.

Theme: Local event and characters
Jamsie Byrne is home from America, he came home the other day,
We talked about all the things that happened in the parish since he went away.
We talked about all the auld lads and the things that they said and done,
He said he was sorry to come back home and find they were nearly all dead and gone.
We looked across at an old broken-down house, you know says he the last time I handled a fork
Was over there at Fogarty’s threshing, the day before I went to New York.
I remember it was a cold frosty morning and we were threshing a big rick of oats
But we were well prepared for the weather with our L.D.F. boots and topcoats.
I remember old Fogarty coming out to the haggard and he started to lay down the law,
He put three of us minding the sacks at the mill and three more for to make up the straw.
He told two young lads to open the sheaves and myself and Jack Murphy to pitch,
And he says ‘when ye take the top off the rick will ye make it up in a neat little heap in the ditch’.
The driver got up in the engine, and the fly wheel it started to spin,
Then he gave the whistle a blow that work was about to begin.
Then he gave this lever a pull and the mill it started to hum,
And the dust, it went up in the heavens when they opened the lid of the drum.
About half past eleven Jack Murphy dropped down on one knee and he says with a nod and a wink
‘Ye may take it easy now lads the barmaid is here with the drink’.
Sure enough, Mrs. Fogarty had arrived with the porter, it was covered with thick creamy froth,
And judging by the look of the bucked she had not lost any time with the cloth.
She buried her hands down in the porter as she filled each one of the tins,
She says ‘I never got time to give them a rub after mixing the food for the hens’.
At dinner time a lot of the lads went home, you see the place had not got a very good name,
And if we’d known what we were going to get, I think we would have all done the same.
Mrs Fogarty says ‘ye’s all must be starving, sit in and eat all ye’s are able’,
And to tell the truth of the woman that day there was lashings of grub on the table.
Somebody said that the meat tasted quare, of that there wasn’t a doubt,
Jack Murphy said ‘wherever she got it, I’ll try and find out’’.
Mr.s Fogarty asked us did we want any more, Jack said ‘I do’ and he held out his plate,
‘And I tell you, Where ever you got it that’s the finest of mate’.
Well, Mrs. Fogarty’s face lit up with delight and she made a neat little bow,
She says ‘you’d hardly believe it but that was the hind leg of the sow.
She died after having the boneens, the poor unfortunate baste,
We thought it nothing short of a sin to see such a fine lot of mate going to waste’’.
Jack clapped his hand over his mouth and said ‘I don’t want anymore’,
And he made an almighty burst for the door.
After dinner when the lads came back they asked us what we had to eat,
And when we told them they said it was a pity to have missed such a treat.
About four o’clock this young chap went over to Jack, of course, he’d been told what to say,
He says ‘Mrs. Fogarty is boiling the boneens, ye’s can have one apiece for your tea’.
Jack’s face turned purple with rage, of course, we all took to laugh,
Well, he gripped the young lad by the scruff of the neck and buried him down in the chaff.
O’, ‘tis forty years since that day, there has been many changers since then,
Although I enjoyed all my years in New York, I am glad to be back home again.
