Said to be from the pen of the Irish

Goddess/Saint Bridget

I should like a great lake of beer for the God of Hosts.
  I should like the angels of Heaven to be drinking it
               &n bsp;                    through time eternal.
  I should like the flails of penance at my house.
  I should like the men and women of Heaven at my house.
  I should like barrels of peace at their disposal.
  I should like vessels of charity for distribution.
  I should like for them cellars of mercy.
  I should like cheerfulness to be in their drinking.
  I should like Jesus to be there among them.
  I should like the three Marys of illustrious renown
               &n bsp;                      to be with us.
  I should like the people of Heaven, the poor,
        to be gathered around us from all parts.
