Words and music by Monroe H. Rosenfeld.
One day there came to me from far across the sea,
A letter and its words I read with tears,
It brought a gem so dear my lonely heart to cheer,
And told of those I had not seen for years.
They nevermore can part this treasure from my heart,
It came from one who blessed it with a tear,
It brought the joys of old, its hopes and bliss untold,
This bunch of shamrock from my mother dear.
Chorus.
