- This poem was composed by Bob Cheatley who lives about three miles from the town of Ramelton in the year 1935. Proudly stands this little Temple
At the foot of Johnny's Brae.

Reckless of the Judgement Day.Fain would I approach its altar,
But my erring feet refuse.
Far too narrow are its portals
For the children of the muse.No. I must not, dare not enter,

Not within this sacred sanctum
Must a wicked bard appear. Only through an open window
May I view the solemn scene.
Dreaming dreams of dark perdition
And the heaven that might have been(continues on next page)
