May the roof above us never fall in
and may we friends gathered beneath it never fall out
May you be in heaven one half hour before the devil knows you're dead.
May the road rise up to meet you;
May the wind be always at your back,
the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rain fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again
may God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
May the best day of your past be the worst day of your future.
May you live to be a hundred years, with one extra year to repent.
May you have warm words on a cold evening,
a full moon on a dark night,
and the road downhill all the way to your door.
May you be poor in misfortune
Rich in blessings
Slow to make enemies
Quick to make friends.
But rich or poor, quick or slow,
May you know nothing but
happiness from this day forward.
Beannachtam na Femle Padraig
"Happy St. Patrick's Day!"
St. Patrick was a gentleman
Who through strategy and stealth
Drove all the snakes from Ireland.
Here's toasting to his health.
But not too many toastings
Lest you lose yourself and then
Forget the good St. Patrick
And see all those snakes again.
May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
May the leprechauns be near you,
To spread luck along your way.
And may all the Irish angels,
Smile upon you St. Patrick's Day.
May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
"May the leprechauns be near you,
To spread luck along your way.
May all the Irish angels,
Smile upon you on St. Patrick's Day."
HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!
AN IRISH FRIENDSHIP WISH!
May there always be work
for your hands to do;
May your purse always hold
a coin or two;
May the sun always shine
on your windowpane;
May a rainbow be certain
to follow each rain;
May the hand of a friend
always be near you;
May God fill your heart with
gladness to cheer you.
