From Coleraine To Casterton Poem by Francis Duggan

The landscape the same each time i drive this way
The hills between Coleraine and Casterton looking brown and dry today
A country too high and too dry to plough for roots crops or grain
That could do with a long spell of life giving rain
A country in need of it's every bush and tree
Where sheep and cattle are the only animals that one does see
From the undulating roadway that winds up and down
Between Coleraine and old Casterton Town
Of Nature's varying scenery one never grows tired
By such rugged natural beauty the writers and artists inspired
On the roadway between Coleraine and Casterton many times i have been
But the undulating country around always more brown than green
This high and brown countryside very well could do
With a week of heavy rain or even better two.
