In The Cemetery Of St Mary's

Many hearts that beat with kindness forever are still Under the earth in view of Cashman's Hill Some of them died youg and some lived to die old And like many their life stories in book form will never be told In the Cemetery of St Mary's from here far away Many of the deceased of Millstreet Town and Parish lay And only the memories with me now remain Of people i knew and will not meet again Some of them the mentors of my younger years By friends and families farewelled in tears Though in my memory they are living yet Them i remember and could not forget In life they never craved wealth and renown And in their last resting spot by Millstreet Town At peace with the World forever they lay Left to the living for their souls for to pray Some times in the Duhallow Town of Millstreet When out walking them i happen to meet We talk of the changes and of how time goes so fast Until i awake from a dream of the past In death from life seldom a painless release In St Mary's Cemetery near Millstreet Town they are at peace The hearts that in life beat with kindness are forever still Under the earth in view of Cashman's Hill.
