What is the Irish poem about blessing a new home?

In: Poetry

[Edit]

Answer

Three Traditional Irish blessings/toasts for a new home:

May your home be bright with cheer,
May your cares all disappear,
May contentment come your way,
And may laughter fill your day.

Wishing you always—
Walls for the wind
And a roof for the rain
And tea beside the fire—
Laughter to cheer you
And those you love near you—
And all that your heart might desire!

May you have warm words
on a cold evening,
A full moon on a dark night,
And the road downhill
all the way to your door.
