the earth, the land and the home they call Ireland. These
blessings impart that unique Irish spirit and love of life.
May joy and peace
surround you, contentment latch your door, and happiness be
with you now and bless you evermore.
May good luck be
your friend in whatever you do and may trouble be always a
stranger to you.
Ireland - It's the
one place on earth that Heaven has kissed, with melody,
mirth, meadow and mist.
May brooks and
trees and singing hills, join in the chorus too. And every
gentle wind that blows, send happiness to you.
May the lilt of
Irish laughter, lighten every load. May the mist of Irish
magic, shorten every road. May you taste the sweetest
pleasures, that fortune ever bestowed. And may all your
friends remember all the favors you are owed.
Whenever I dream,
it seams I dream of Erin's rolling hills. Of all its lovely,
shimmery lakes, and little babbling rills. I hear a
colleen's lilting laugh, across a meadow fair. And in my
dreams it almost seams, to me that I am there. O, Ireland!
O, Ireland! we're never far apart, For you and all your
beauty, fill my mind and touch my heart.
May you always have
these blessings - A soft breeze when summer comes, a warm
fireside in winter. And always the warm, soft smile of a
friend.
May the blessing of
light be on you, light without and light within. May the
blessed sunlight shine on you and warm your heart.
Hills as green as
emeralds, cover the countryside. Lakes as blue as sapphires,
are Ireland's special pride. And rivers that shine like
silver, make Ireland look so fair. But the friendliness of
her people, is the richest treasure there.
Near a misty stream
in Ireland, in a hollow of a tree, live mystical, magical
leprechauns who are clever as can be. With their pointed
ears, and turned up toes and little coats of green, the
leprechauns busily make their shoes and try hard not to be
seen. Only those who really believe, have seen these little
elves. And if we are all believers, we can surely see for
ourselves.
