Where Aubane People Meet Poem by Francis Duggan

In view of old Mushera in the high green countryside
For it's hospitable people Aubane is known far and wide
On the high Butter Road above the the Town of Millstreet
There is laughter, song, dance and music where Aubane people meet

In Aubane the bond of community is and has always been strong
A stranger to there would not feel a stranger for long
Wherever you hail from Capetown, Paris or Rome
Aubane is a place where one would feel at home

By Denis and Noreen Kelleher's shop yours may be a strange face
You may have just stopped off in passing from a distant place
Of a different race and from a distant shore
But in Aubane you are made to feel welcome you they would not ignore

In the twenty first century Ireland changes occuring fast
But in Aubane they retain their strong links to their cultural past
Fond memories of that old place with me remain
And in my flights of fancy i visit there again

For the warmth of it's people it is widely known
One can say they do have a charm of their own
In view of old Mushera above the Town of Millstreet
There is laughter, music, dance and song where Aubane people meet.
