THE SHAMROCK by ANONYMOUS

First Line: LONG MAY THE SHAMROCK
Last Line: STILL MAY THEY FONDLY GROW TOGETHER
Subject(s): IRELAND;SHAMROCK; IRISH;
LONG may the shamrock,
The plant that blooms for ever,
With the rose combined,
And the thistle twined,
Defy the strength of foes to sever.
Firm be the triple league they form,
Despite all change of weather
In sunshine, darkness, calm or storm,
Still may they fondly grow together.
