The Former Pride Of Newmarket

From her first Hometown in Duhallow she is aging far away
The former Pride of Newmarket has known of a far better day
With light brown hair dye she does cover her gray
Pride comes before a fall as the wise one does say

At least four decades of years past her physical prime
Last year a grandmother for the seventh time
To her Australian husband she is a good wife
And their union it does seem will last for life

For her first Hometown of Newmarket she has shed her last tears
She has not been back there for at least thirty years
In her adopted City of Portland in Victoria she may live her last day
And far south of Duhallow her last remains will lay

The Seasons of life on her surely does tell
Though for her years she is one who looks quite well
Eventually time becomes everyone's foe
She was a rare beauty four decades ago.
