The Aubane River

In the valley in view of Mushera above Millstreet Town The old Aubane River in flood waters of brown From waters of the high ground in streamlet and drain Flowing with a loud babble swollen by recent thunder rain Generations of people to Aubane have come to and from gone But the old ageless river forever flows on It has flowed for centuries before the first people came To live in the valley that then did not have a name It has flowed forever and will forever more On it's journey to the Blackwater to the Atlantic shore A waterway that has inspired song, story and rhyme That was very old in the dinosaur time And the dinosaurs forever from Aubane are long gone But the old waterway as ever flows on.
