Macroom In Mid Cork Poem by Francis Duggan

A long way from here to mid Cork and Macroom
In the fields there now Nature's flowers are in bloom
And in the Town gardens on every rose tree
Pink and red roses a sight of rare beauty to see
Macroom for it's great Gaelic footballers is a well known Town
One of it can say no stranger to renown
In gaelic football in Cork County a club always to the fore
From there many young men with distinction the red of Cork wore
A historic old Town with a charm of it's own
That for it's hospitable people has become widely known
You are not made to feel a stranger there on any street
Where most greet you as if an old friend they do meet
Macroom in mid Cork where Sullane waters flow
A beautiful place of which many of know.
