your birth was ninety years ago today
a matter to recall with lots of pride
but just nine years ago you went away
into the dust back to the primal clay
and kept still secret all you chose to hide
your birth was ninety years ago today
in warm november when no skies were grey
in willow walk right next to mountainside
but just nine years ago you went away
in a strange land where other rules have play
your ashes sit not too far from the tide
your birth was ninety years ago today
so we remember and with no delay
cast our minds back to thank and not to chide
but just nine years ago you went away
and we cannot forget that painful day
the words that crossed the water never lied
your birth was ninety years ago today
but just nine years ago you went away
