- It's right well I remember,
The bright rosey morn.
When leaving dear old Ireland,
The land where I was born.
An Irish girl accosted me,
With a sad tear in her eye.
And as she spoke those words to me.
She bitterly did cry.
"Kind sir, I ask a favour,
Will you grant it to me please?
It is not much I ask of you,
But it will set my heart at ease.
Won't you bring this bunch of shamrocks,
To my brother far 'oer the sea,
And won't you kindly tell him,
That these were sent by me."- Collector
