Love will find out the way
Language: English
Quite over the mountains, And over the waves, Quite over the fountains, And under the graves; O'er floods that are deepest, Which Neptune obey, O'er rocks that are steepest, Love will find out the way. Some think to lose him, Which is too unkind; And some do suppose him, Poor thing to be blind; But if ne'er so close ye wall him, Do the best that ye may, Blind Love, if so ye call him, He will find out the way.
