THE SHAMROCK

All hail to the Shamrock the little green flower
 The sign and the crown of the evergreen isle! The shy little plant with its vigor and power,
 Its roots in Old Erin has spread all the while All over the earth with life springing
 The more tis repressed and the more 'tis kept
 down;
 Its humor and pluck and its buoyancy bringing
 To pluck joy from sorrow smile from frown It grew for, long years in the shadow of trouble, Of sore persecution and nothing to bless, Prescribed and dOwn-hunted, each trial double
 Its liberty held in cruel duress. But spite of all cen when death was its wearing
 The brave little Shamrock grew valiantly on. Its burdens through fighting still gallantly bearing Through all the dark night hoping yet for the dawn The dawn has ariSen-its sun is now shining
 And waxing each hour to glorious light, The day of full freedom with past all repinng
 With fate painting strongly future time bright When the green isle of Erin her sorrows forgetting Shall stand with her harp-hanner fondly unfurled While the dear little Shamrock the green little Sham
 rock
 Shall libertys harbinger be to the world
