KILBOURNEY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The rickety stores of kilbourney
Last Line: And thin blue smoke in the air.
Subject(s): Towns


The rickety stores of Kilbourney
Roll down the banks of the river
And there they stop, frightened --
So close to the water, they shiver.

The little houses in Kilbourney
Tumble along with the trees,
Over the hills and around the hills --
Ones, twos and threes.

What a strange little town is Kilbourney!
You'd never know it was there
But for the cross on the steeple
And thin blue smoke in the air.
