There's a dear little plant that grows in our isle.
'Twas St Patrick himself sure that set it.
And the sun on his labour with pleasure did smile
And with dews from his eyes oft did wet it.

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.
