SHAMROCK

by Andrew Cherry, an Irish Playwright (1762-1812)

There's a dear little plant

that grows in our isle,

'Twas St. Patrick himself

sure that set it;

And the sun on his labour

with pleasure did smile,

And with dew from his eye

often wet it.

It thrives through the bog,

through the brake,

through the mireland;

And he called it the dear

little shamrock of Ireland—

The sweet little shamrock,

the dear little shamrock,

The sweet little, green little,

shamrock of Ireland!

SAINT PATRICK - author unknown

Saint Patrick was a gentleman,

he came from decent people,

In Dublin town he built a church,

and put upon't a steeple;

His father was a Callaghan,

his mother was a Brady,

His aunt was an O'Shaughnessy,

and his uncle was a Grady.

Then success to bold St. Patrick's fist,

he was a saint so clever;

He gave the snakes and toads a twist,

and banished them forever.
