SHAMROCKS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I wear a shamrock in my heart
Alternate Author Name(s): Gilbert, Lady


I WEAR a shamrock in my heart.
Three in one, one in three-
Truth and love and faith,
Tears and pain and death:
O sweet my shamrock is to me!


Lay mein my hollow bed,
Grow the shamrocks over me.
Three in one, one in three,
Faith and hope and charity,
Peace and rest and silence be
With me where you lay my head:
O dear the shamrocks are to me!
