11Over the mountains and over the waves, Over the mountains,
22Under the fountains and under the graves; And over the waves,
33Under floods that are deepest which Neptune obey, Under the fountains
44Over rocks that are steepest, Love will find out the way. And under the graves.
55 Under floods that are deepest
66When there is no place for the glowworm to lie, Which Neptune obey,
77When there is no space for receipt of a fly; Over rocks that are steepest,
88When the midge dares not venture lest herself fast she lay, Love will find out the way.
99If love come, he will enter and will find out the way.
1010 Where there is no place
1111You may esteem him a child for his might; For the glow-worm to lie,
1212Or you may deem him a cad for his flight; Where there is no space
1313She whom love honors be concealed from the day, For receipt of a fly;
1414Set a thousand guards on her, Love will find out the way. Where the midge dare not venture
1515 Lest herself fast she lay,
1616Some think to lose him if he is confined; If love come, he will enter
1717Some do suppose him, poor heart! to be blind; And soon find out his way.
1818But if ne'er close ye wall him, do the best that ye may,
1919Blind love if ye so call him, he will find out the way. You may esteem him
2020 A child for his might;
2121If earth should part him he would gallop it o'er; Or you may deem him
2222If seas should thwart him, he would swim to the shore; A coward from his flight;
2323should his Love be a swallow, through the bright air to stray, But if she whom love doth honour
2424Love will bend wings to follow and will find out the way. Be conceal'd from the day,
2525 Set a thousand guards upon her,
2626There is no striving to cross his intent; Love will find out the way.
2727There's no contriving his plots to prevent;
2828Once the message doth greet him his true love doth stay, Some think to lose him
2929If death should come and meet him, Love will find out the way!By having him confined;
30And some do suppose him,
31Poor thing, to be blind;
32But if ne'er so close ye wall him,
33Do the best that ye may,
34Blind love, if so ye call him,
35Will find out his way.
36
37You may train the eagle
38To stoop to your fist;
39Or you may inveigle
40The phoenix of the East,
41The lioness, ye may move her
42to give o'er her prey;
43But you'll ne'er stop a lover:
44He will find out his way.
