Over the mountains br And over the waves, br Under the fountains br And under the graves; br Under floods that are deepest, br Which Neptune obey, br Over rocks that are steepest, br Love will find out the way. br br When there is no place br For the glow-worm to lie, br When there is no space br For receipt of a fly; br When the midge dares not venture br Lest herself fast she lay, br If Love come, he will enter br And will find out the way. br br You may esteem him br A child for his might; br Or you may deem him br A coward for his flight; br But if she whom Love doth honour br Be conceal'd from the day- br Set a thousand guards upon her, br Love will find out the way. br br Some think to lose him br By having him confined; br And some do suppose him, br Poor heart! to be blind; br But if ne'er so close ye wall him, br Do the best that ye may, br Blind Love, if so ye call him, br He will find out his way. br br You may train the eagle br To stoop to your fist; br Or you may inveigle br The Phoenix of the east; br The lioness, you may move her br To give over her prey; br But you'll ne'er stop a lover- br He will find out the way. br br If the earth it should part him, br He would gallop it o'er; br If the seas should o'erthwart him, br He would swim to the shore; br Should his Love become a swallow, br Through the air to stray, br Love will lend wings to follow, br And will find out the way.
