There’s a dear little plant that grows in our isle

There’s a dear little plant that grows in our isle,
‘Twas St. Patrick himself, sure, that sets it;
And the sun of his labor with pleasure did smile,
And with dew from his eye often wet it.
It grows through the bog, through the brake, through the mireland,
And they call it the dear little Shamrock of Ireland.

May your blessings outnumber

May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.

For each petal on the shamrock

For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way-
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day.

St. Patrick’s legend

Good St. Patrick travelled far, to teach God’s Holy Word
And when he came to Erin’s sod, a wondrous thing occurred
He plucked a shamrock from the earth and held it in His hand
To symbolise the Trinity that all might understand
The first leaf for the Father
And the second for the Son
The third leaf for the Holy Spirit
All three of them in one.

Wishing you a rainbow

Wishing you a rainbow
For sunlight after showers—
Miles and miles of Irish smiles
For golden happy hours—
Shamrocks at your doorway
For luck and laughter too,
And a host of friends that never ends
Each day your whole life through!

Here’s to the land of the Shamrock

Here’s to the land of the Shamrock so green,
Here’s to each Lad and his darlin Colleen,
Here’s to the ones we love dearest and most.
May God bless ole Ireland, that’s and Irish mans toast.
