11Quite over the mountains, Over the mountains,
22And over the waves, And over the waves,
33Quite over the fountains, Under the fountains
44And under the graves; And under the graves.
55O'er floods that are deepest, Under floods that are deepest
66Which Neptune obey, Which Neptune obey,
77O'er rocks that are steepest, Over rocks that are steepest,
88Love will find out the way. Love will find out the way.

1010Some think to lose him, Where there is no place
1111Which is too unkind; For the glow-worm to lie,
1212And some do suppose him, Where there is no space
1313Poor thing to be blind; For receipt of a fly;
1414But if ne'er so close ye wall him, Where the midge dare not venture
1515Do the best that ye may, Lest herself fast she lay,
1616Blind Love, if so ye call him, If love come, he will enter
1717He will find out the way.And soon find out his way.

19You may esteem him
20A child for his might;
21Or you may deem him
22A coward from his flight;
23But if she whom love doth honour
24Be conceal'd from the day,
25Set a thousand guards upon her,
26Love will find out the way.
27
28Some think to lose him
29By 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.
