 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!
