St. Patrick's Day Poem by A. P. Herbert

St. Patrick's Day



St. Patrick's Day
Honour the 'neutral' Irishman with weapons in his hand—
The men who made the Mulberries—the men who hate the Huns.
And you, St. Patrick, come again. Convert the lonely land,
And breathe into her statesmen the spirit of her sons.
March 18, 1945
