Blessed Quote by Mary Elizabeth McGrath Blake

“For 'tis green, green, green, where the ruined towers are gray, And it's green, green, green, all the happy night and day; Green of leaf and green of sod, green of ivy on the wall, And the blessed Irish shamrock with the fairest green of all.” quote by Mary Elizabeth McGrath Blake
