The Young Rose Of The Moyne Shire Poem by Francis Duggan

With dark blue eyes and shoulder length wavy hair of light brown
A young rose of the Moyne Shire the pride of old Koroit Town
Of average height of slender build free of conceit or guile
The charm and warmth of Koroit is in her lovely smile
But the wanderlust in her young mind for places far away
And in Koroit in the Moyne Shire she is one who will not stay
So nice and young and lovely she has just turned nineteen
The World out there beckoning to her and so much for her to be seen
She plans to go to Europe and the U S of A
Youth it does always have it's fling as the wise one does say
One among many others who makes Koroit such a welcoming place
She always has a lovely smile on her beautiful young face
The charming young beauty of Koroit is on the right side of time
At least five years or even more short of her physical prime.
