The tower in the woods,
Radio Athlone, Radio Eireann, 2RN
When I was young, I saw the woods,
bluebells swaying in the wind
Two towers hovered above,
the tall trees of a small child
Two monstrous towers,
reached overhead;
Moydrum
Connecting the midlands,
with everywhere else
Families listened to the wireless
The channels read,
Moscow, Marseille, Munich,
Budapest, Berlin, Helsinki, Athlone.
Our forrest has been cut down
and one of the towers gone
But history will always read,
Rome, Marseille, Bruxelles, Athlone.
