Francis Duggan Star Poems

But in his lifetime achievements all others he did surpass
In physics on his theory of relativity his fame live today
True genius can be slow to bloom it is often this way

And in mental images the past comes to me

The famed Star Club in Millstreet Town where love stories began
Time eventually strips everybody of youthful elan
