The Green of Irish Faith
Virginia Salter

Come and be my little leprechaun

greet the morning dew of dawn
gathered there upon the lawn
of a brand new day.

Wearin’ green, so succulent,
ignoring drought and those well bent
on bringing fear and love’s relent
to carve our deepened fey.

Causing us to seek the clover
searching diligent world over,
then failing, quickly run for cover
where consternation does not pay.

Dreaming of a pot of gold
wishing dreams that we were told
could be a thing we could behold
by magic words we say.

Working diligence we've spent
sacrificial pay in Lent
denying what the world has rent
to carry us away.
