I'm in search of my four leaf cloverl
Four-Leaf Clover
BY ELLA HIGGINSONI know a place where the sun is like gold,
And the cherry blooms burst with snow,
And down underneath is the loveliest nook,
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
One leaf is for hope, and one is for faith,
And one is for love, you know,
And God put another in for luck-
If you search, you will find where they grow.
But you must have hope, and you must have faith,
You must love and be strong - and so-
If you work, if you wait, you will find the place
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
