    When Erin first rose from the dark-swelling flood,
    God blessed the green island, he saw it was good.
    The Emerald of Europe, it sparkled and shone
    In the ring of this world, the most precious stone.

There came to the beach a poor Exile of Erin,
The dew on his thin robe was heavy and chill;
For his country he sigh'd, when at twilight repairing.
To wander along by the wind-beaten hill.
But the day star attracted his eyes' sad devotion,
For it rose o'er his own native isle of the ocean,
Where once in the fire of his youthful emotion
He sang the bold anthem of Erin-go-bragh.

We . . . are no petty people. We are one of the great stocks of
Burke; we are the people of Swift, the people of Emmet, the

of this country. We have created the best of its political
intelligence.

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 with dew from his eye often wet it.
It thrives through the bog, through the brake, and 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!
