Snow In Millstreet Today

Two inches of snow today in Millstreet Town Through the almost deserted Main Street cars slowly move up and down And in the calm of the afternoon blanketed white The old hill of Clara a beautiful sight. On a phone call from Jimmy Sullivan in Millstreet faraway He told me Duhallow is snowbound today The bushes and trees and every hedgerow Are heavily laden with January snow. Such news took me back to when I was a boy In Winter the snowball games I did enjoy With my young friends from many decades ago By the old town where into young men we did grow. The snowfalls in Duhallow live in my memory In front gardens of homes where children lived snowmen for to see The children with each other used to compete At the building of the finest snowman in Millstreet. Jimmy Sullivan told me so in a phone call In Millstreet today a two inches snowfall Snow on roofs, streets and roads, fields and on every bush and tree It must be a wonder of Nature to see.
