The Beautiful Woman From Argentina Poem
By Francis Duggan
Quite happy to live in the place where the rank rushes grow
The beautiful woman from Argentina with shoulder length hair dark as a crow
Far north of South America where she first saw light of day
Within view of bracken mountains she feels happy for to stay
She feels contented and happy near the babbling waterway
Home is where the heart is as some are known to say
On the trees new leaves are budding and the nesting songbirds sing
And the cattle out of sheds in the old fields in the early days of Spring
The beautiful woman from Argentina her’s now a familiar face
To all of her local neighbours in what to her is now home-place
Down to earth and charming and one who is free of guile
The warmth of Argentina is in her lovely smile
The small brown lark is carolling a musical speck in the sky
And the dark swallows home from far away above the old fields fly
And the beautiful woman from Argentina feels happy in her mind
In her cottage by the river her utopia she did find
