I know a place where the sun is like gold,
And the cherry blooms burst like snow;
And down underneath is the loveliest nook,
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
One leaf is for faith, and one is for hope,
And one is for love, you know;
And God put another one in for luck--
If you search, you will find where they grow.
But you must have faith and you must have hope,
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.
