In the year 05 Joan and Joe will go to live in Inchaleigh in view of Clara hill <br />Close to the Finnow river and the Glasheen rill <br />Some distance from London where they have lived for some time <br />Their children young adults are now in their prime. <br /> <br />Inchaleigh near the Town of Millstreet is Joan's old Homeplace <br />Where decades ago her's was a familiar face <br />And Joe from Barraduff from Millstreet not far <br />Perhaps at the most twenty minutes by car. <br /> <br />In the Duhallow and Sliabh Luachra I knew as a boy <br />The changes keep happening and how time seems to fly <br />And changes too happening for Joan and for Joe <br />And even in their old Townlands some they will not know. <br /> <br />They are leaving busy London for their old Homeground <br />For to live in the old Townland with hills all around <br />And one can only wish for them happiness in their new life <br />Joe the man from Sliabh Luachra and Joan his good wife. <br /> <br />To green old Duhallow where the Winters are cold <br />Joe Moynihan and Joan Hickey are going home to grow old <br />To where Finnow waters ever journey down <br />Through the fields and boglands west of Millstreet Town.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/going-home-3/
