Through the counties of the island known as Eire

across the hillsides green and fair

is heard a softly whispered prayer:

May your days be many

and your troubles be few

May all God's blessings

descend upon you.

May peace be within you

may your heart be strong.

May you find what you're seeking

wherever you roam.

May you find a bit of Ireland in your heart

this St. Patrick's Day
