He Has Returned To Woolsthorpe Poem by Francis Duggan

He Has Returned To Woolsthorpe



He has come home to grow old in his home country-side
The old fellow from Woolsthorpe has travelled far and wide
In the vast Land of Australia and the bigger World out there
And of his many travels his stories he does share.

With the young locals in the pub his company they enjoy
With their grand-parents he went to school when he was a school-boy
He tells them of the great cities he has lived in thousands of miles from home
New York, London and Paris and Montreal and Rome.

He never fathered children or he never had a wife
Though he made love to many women in his nomadic life
But he returned to Woolsthorpe where he will live his last day
And in the Woolsthorpe cemetery his last remains will lay.

He has returned to Woolsthorpe for to live out his last years
And in the local pub at night he drinks a couple of beers
And tell stories of his travels in Countries far away
The young man of the fifties is now looking old and gray.
