The following poem was written and submitted by W. Scott Schell.
Sometimes when the wind blows
You can hear the Bells of St. Ann's
Ringing from a distance
Waking up the land
On a cool September morning
She brings greetings,
She brings warnings
Tolling on the hour
Some are hearing, some ignoring
O.... listen
Hear the bells ringing
Don't miss them
Swinging on the hour
Won't you come on in?
No matter where you've been
Keep on listening
You'll feel the awesome power
When we get discouraged
And things are looking bleak
We may be encouraged
By the bells as they speak
Echo through our township
Humbly reaching out
Beckon us to live by faith
Overcoming doubt
Hear the Bells of St. Ann's
Resound through the thunder
Ancient chimes fill the land
With grandeur and with wonder
History repeats,
As evening bells complete
Their lovely melody
To Lull us all to asleep
On his words, Schell said:
"I was inspired by the sounds of the St. Ann's Church Bells ringing and composed this song. The wonders and history of Loyalsock Township and surrounding areas are quite awesome!"
