Michael Buckley Of Aubane

He must have been into his eighties of human years a lengthy span Michael Buckley of Aubane he was a good man In life he performed his good deeds every day I only say of him what does seem fair to say The praises of such a man ought to be sung He was in his prime years when i was quite young So humble in his ways unconceited and shy The term of saint like to Michael apply Though one that i had not seen for many years News of his passing in Aubane would have reduced many to tears For in the valleys by Mushera he was well loved and well known And in Aubane they always do grieve the passing of one of their own One in his life who never did make a foe To Aubane he had seen many Seasons come and go A nicer person than he was one could not wish to meet He will be sadly missed in the Parish of Millstreet From his old home in Aubane just a few miles away By Cashman's Hill in St Mary's his last remains lay In life he was a good person down to earth and kind And better than he was would be hard to find.
