What would a St. Patrick's Page
be without one of the wee ones watching over it?
THE LITTLE ROADS OF IRELAND
The Roman roads run outward from
the city on the hills,
And Holland's roads will take you by gaily painted mills,
Small pathways of the East will lead to China's ancient wall -
But the little roads of Ireland are the loveliest of all.
In Normandy
small roadways through flowering orchards run,
The ancient roads of Syria flash under shining sun,
And winding beauty lingers where the Rhine and Danube roll -
But the little roads of Ireland entwine around your soul.
From Dublin
Bay to Galway, from Cork to Derry town,
From Antrim to Killarney, they ramble up and down;
And through you are ten thoudand miles
from where they twist and wind,
The little roads of Ireland stay forever in your mind.
Katherine Edelman
An Irish Blessing
May you always have...
Walls for the winds
A roof for the rain
Tea beside the fire
Laughter to cheer you
Those you love near you
And all your heart might desire.
Irish Blessing
Leprechauns, castles, good luck and
laughter
Lullabies, dreams and love ever after.
Poems and songs with pipes and drums
A thousand welcomes when anyone comes...
That's the Irish for you!
A Blessing From St. Patrick
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
