VERSE 01: There’s a dear little plant that grows in our Isle,/’Twas Saint Patrick himself that set it;/And the sun on his labor with pleasure did smile,/And with dew from his eye often wet it,/It shines thro’ the bog, thro’ the brake and the mireland,/And he called it the dear little Shamrock of Ireland,/The VERSE 02: That dear little plant still grows in our land,/Fresh and fair as the daughters of Erin;/Whose smiles can bewitch and whose eyes cam command,/In each climate they ever appear in,/For they shine thro’ the bog, thro’ the brake and the mireland,/Just like their own dear little Shamrock of Ireland,/The VERSE 03: That dear little plant that springs from our soil,/When its three little leaves are extended;/Denotes from the stalk we together should toil,/And ourselves by ourselves be befriended,/And still thro’ the bog, thro’ the brake and the mireland,/From one root should branch like the Shamrock of Ireland,/The CHORUS: dear little Shamrock, the sweet little Shamrock, the dear little, sweet little Shamrock of Ireland. | |
