Last Line: And blossoms sleep beneath the snow.
Subject(s): Green (color); Ireland; March (month); St. Patrick's Day; Irish
IT seems to me St. Patrick's Day
By every rule should come in May
Instead of when the March winds blow
And buds still sleep beneath the snow;
For then the fields would all be seen
A-wearing of the emerald green
Just like the flag so green and gay
They carry on St. Patrick's Day;
And all the night the wind would play
Soft Irish croonings through the, trees,
Like some sad harp that far away
Sighs in that isle beyond the seas;
And so it seems St. Patrick's Day
By every rule should come in May
Instead of when the March winds blow,
And blossoms sleep beneath the snow.
