Shamrocks

Dear little shamrocks, to lovingly tent Across the Wide tea From Erin Machree, Land of my birth, where my childhood wqt spent. Gazing on them, my thoughts fondly tirey To emerald dtlisg .■ ’XViimw***! Where fairies weave spells From fall of the • night till dawning of day.

A light-hearted youth' through meadows I rose. When lot sweet and dear Then falls on my ear The tong of the blackbird warbling it* loot. Dear Utile shamrocks! You fall at mg feet. ./ lift and replace, With gentle embrace. Breathing tad sight o’er a dreaming to sweet.
