THE FOUR LEAVED SHAMROCK.
"I'll seek the four leaved shamrock
In all its fairy dells,
And if I find its charmed leaves,
Oh how I'll weave my spells.
I would not waste my magic might
On diamonds, pearls or gold,
Such treasures tire the weary heart,
Their triumphs are but cold.
But I would play the enchanter's part
In casting bliss around,
And not a tear or aching heart
Should in the world be found."

"To wealth I would give honor,
I'd dry the mourner's tears,
And to the pallid cheeks restore
The bloom of happier years;
And friends that had been long estranged,
And hearts that had grown cold,
Should meet again like parted streams
And mingle as of old.
And thus I'd play the enchanter's part
In casting bliss around,
And not a tear or aching heart
Should in the world be found."
