Old Kentucky Superstitions about Four Leaf Clovers
- If you find a four-leaved clover, hold it above the head and make a wish Mountains
- Put a four-leaved clover into your shoe. Make a wish. When it is lost out, the wish will come true.
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.
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.
