    In the happy days of your
    Hand in hand we pluck the shamrock
    From the dear Lough Gowna shore."
    Heaven bless the little shamrock
    Emblem of our native land.
    Scenes of childhood crowd upon me
    As I hold it in my hand.
    And my heart flies back around Erin
    And the happy days in store
    When again we pluck the shamrock
    From the dead Lough Gowna shore.
