Four Leaf Clovers – Good Luck!

Four Leaf Clovers

by Ella Higginson

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;
But 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; so 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.

Ella Higginson, an American writer, lived in Bellingham, on Puget Sound, Washington. She won a prize of five hundred dollars, offered by a magazine for the best short story.

The Four-Leaf Clover

I’ve been hunting in the meadow Where the crimson clover blows,
To see if I could find the place
The Four-leaf clover grows.

And if I ever ever find it,
All the precious seeds I’ll pluck,

And sow the fields and road-side
So all may have good-luck.
