Sean O' Connor Poem by Francis Duggan

Sean O' Connor a quiet and unassuming person in his own gentle way
And news of his death is such sad news only true to say
And Kippagh for his passing all the poorer today
Good memories in all who knew him of him their life time will stay

The heart that beat with kindness is forever still
Of one who loved the old fields in view of Kippagh hill
In Millstreet Parish and Town he was well liked and well known
But he lived as he died as one of Kippagh's own

Though time from us all removes youthful elan
In his prime years Sean O' Connor was a tall and handsome man
One who did a lot of good during his life span
And he died in Kippagh where his life's journey began

In his lifetime he never made an enemy and made many a friend
And sad to learn his life's journey has come to an end
And though the last breath of life from his body has gone
In Kippagh by the hills his spirit lives on.
