The Girl From Millstreet Town Poem by Francis Duggan

Where the babbling Finnow waters from high Gneeves winds on down
By hedgerows and by old fields that border Millstreet Town
Born and raised in that green countryside miles inland from Hibernia's shore
In view of Clara mountain overlooking Claramore

In this sunlit Southern Country more than half of a World away
From her Hometown in Duhallow where she first saw the lamp of day
With eyes blue as a bluebell flower and shoulder length wavy hair of brown
In Warrnambool she is known as the Girl from Millstreet Town

Far from the Town by Clara where she attended school
She is a favorite of the young men of South West Victoria's Warrnambool
In her prime and beautiful and radiant she has got the inner glow
She feels happy where the Hopkins and the Merri into the Pacific flow

In the City by the Pacific she is destined for to stay
Where she may find love and her soulmate in a not too distant day
So charming and quite attractive and untainted by conceit
She lives far south of Duhallow and the old Town of Millstreet.
