This week “ Heppnerites” are
much too busy turning the town
into “ A Wee Bit O ’ Ireland” in
Oregon to have much time to read
or write columns. So...a salute to
our Irish ancestors, the old coun
try, and all our St. Pat’s visitors
with the following poem:
A Little Bit of Heaven
Have you ever heard the story
of how Ireland got its name?
I’ll tell you, so you’ll unders
tand from whense old Ireland
came.
No wonder that we’re proud of
that dear land across the sea.
For here’s the way me dear old
mother told the tale to me.
Sure, a little bit of Heaven fell
from out of the sky one day.
And nestled on the ocean in a
spot so far away;
And when the Angels found it,
sure it looked so sweat and fair.
They said, “ Suppose we leave it,
for it looks so peaceful there.”
So they sprinkled it with star
dust just to make the shamrocks
grow;
‘Tis the only place you’ll find
them no matter where you go;
Then they dotted it with silver
to make its lakes so grand.
And when they had it finished,
sure they called it Ireland.
‘Tis a dear old land of fairies
and of wondrous wishing wells;
And nowhere else on God’s
green earth have they such lakes
and dells.
No wonder that the Angels lov
ed its shamrock-bordered shore.
‘Tis a little bit of Heaven and
I love it more and more.
....unknown
Have a very “ Irish” weekend.
Cead Mile Failte.
