If you find a four-leaf clover
It will bring happiness
But
Don't tell anyone
Where its white flower blooms
Or how many leaflets from its stem extend
The four-leaf clover
I only want your happiness, knowing
I can never be yours to share it.
~
If you find a three-leaf clover
It will bring sadness
But
Tell only a friend
Where its green stem grows
And how many leaves there are
The three-leaf clover
I do not want to cause you sadness
But I do not know how.
~
If you find a two-leaf clover
It will bring loneliness
But
Whisper to another
Where it lives
And that it is alone
The two-leaf clover
I want you to know I love you
But I cannot say it.
~
If you find a clover with just one leaf
It will bring love
But
Tell only a lover
Where that clover is
For you to share
The clover with but a single leaf
I want to remember you
So you and I will never part.
