Born to life as Nora Corkery in Derreen west of Millstreet Town
Where on old Clarabeg as ever looks down
To live as a good person her claim to fame
Dotie for her was her given nickname
Dotie was not born into the World to be anyone's wife
To the god she believed in she devoted her life
As a nun of the Sisters Of Charity she breathed her last
Though in Millstreet good memories of her remain from the past
Though this is going back many Seasons in time
Dotie was a beautiful young woman in her life's prime
So holy and humble untainted by conceit or guile
On her beautiful face she always had a beautiful smile
A comment on Dotie by Muriel Ryan on the Millstreet Web Site only too true
When in her written words she paid to her school friend the credit she was due
The highest respect in words of the to be Sister Nora she did pay
When she wrote that Dotie of anyone never had a bad word to say.
In Drishane Cemetery in Millstreet not far from where she first saw light of day
The last remains of the beautiful Dotie Corkery lay
Through her life as a spiritual person she did grow
As one of those rare people who had the inner glow.
