The Allansford Rose Poem by Francis Duggan

She takes pride of place where the dark Hopkins flow
Towards the Blue Hole at the Pacific dark deep and slow
With eyes blue as sloes and shoulder length hair of wavy dark brown
The beautiful young woman of Allansford Town
A down to earth person free of any guile
Friendly in her ways with a beautiful smile
When she is at a party dressed in her best clothes
She looks so attractive the Allansford Rose
A beautiful person quite free of conceit
Her type every day one does not meet on every street
In her early twenties and in her life's prime
One can say of her on the right side of time
In Allansford Town she does take pride of place
A beautiful person with a beautiful face.
