There's a dear little plant that grows in our isle,
'Twas St Patrick himself, sure, that set it;
And the sun on his labor with pleasure did smile,

And he called it the dear little shamrock of Ireland...
~Andrew Cherry

The Spring steps in so charmin',

In the middle of March,
Wid her hand St. Patrick's arm on...
~Alfred Percival Graves

May your glass be ever full.
May the roof over your head be always strong.
And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.
