Four-Leaf Clover

Ella Higginson 1901 6th Grade

I 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.
