The Anthem Poem Of Millstreet

The poem which she did write in the name of Millstreet
The Town in the green countryside where the waterways meet
As the anthem poem of Millstreet it well ought to be
A beautiful poem to live in memory

A daughter of migrant parents from Coolinarne who migrated to the U S in post Irish famine time
She wrote the poem Millstreet when she was in her prime
I had not heard of her before reading the article on her by Michael Cashman on the Millstreet web site
Or the beautiful poem after a visit to Millstreet that she did write

Just goes to prove that a great poem can be written by a poet not well known
But the poem Millstreet by Julia A O' Sullivan any major poet would have been proud to own
It is a beautiful piece of writing in truth one can say
And as is said of poetry a well written poem does not die in a day

Her visit to her ancestral home place inspired her to achieve something great
In Millstreet a poem of great beauty she did create
She was inspired to poetry on her arrival on parental home ground
And on meeting her Irish relatives the effect on her was profound

Millstreet by Julia Agnes O' Sullivan as the anthem poem of Millstreet well ought to be
In my humble opinion this is a gem of poetry
Since her visit to her ancestral home place more than a century in time has gone
And thanks to Michael Cashman on the Millstreet web site for putting it on.
