Francis Duggan Poems

A story from the nineteen twenties from Duhallow one that is often told
About a famed track greyhound his name was Good As Gold
Bred and owned by Denny Dennehy one known far beyond Millstreet Town
To have bred and owned the World's most expensive dog not his only claim to renown

An overcast sky with pregnant clouds of rain
And the magpie geese back in Tower Hill again
And i hear the distinctive call notes of the pied currawong
Of the dark birds it is said they do tell of rain in their song

Far north of this Country even as the bird does fly
In distance quite far thousands of miles by sky
Is a place where the lamp of day i first did see
Claraghatlea in Duhallow was first home to me

Not all men are good that goes for women as well
If there is a hereafter many will be in Hell
And even to religious people these words too apply
If you sin against others you sin against your God in the sky

Of Nature there's new things to learn every day
At least that is how 'tis with me anyway
Her secrets are many her wonders not few
And everyday of her we learn something new
