Wearing of the Green and Irish Rebellion Theme
A poem fragment laments a law banning the shamrock and wearing of green in Ireland. It recalls auctions of national colors under English rule, mentions executions, and vows to keep wearing green until freedom returns. The piece references Ireland, England, and loyalty through symbolic foliage.
