  1. [Drawing] - Sheet music
    by Denis B. Regan, The Sparr Ballingarry
    Oh it came here today from over the ocean
    A sweet little trefoil a sham-rock so green
    I tenderly hold it while tears of emotion are bathing the flow'r of my dear Rosaleen
    with frevor my lips to its leaves I am pressing the spot where it grew now in fancy I see
    And visions of childhood with mother caressing At touch of my shamrock arise before me
    My dear little shamrock sweet You of my sireland A Céad mílle failthe I give unto thee
    you carry me back to the [?] of Ireland To the bravehearts still fighting for true liberty
