May the Road Rise to Meet You
An Irish Blessing
May the Road Rise to Meet You
Irish Blessing
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
The rains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again,
May God hold you
In the hollow of his hand.
Notes
Here's another version that's used as an Irish toast:
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back
May you be in heaven half an hour
Before the Devil knows you're dead.
Comments
