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. <br /> <br />There is no striving <br />To cross his intent; <br />There is no contriving <br />His plots to prevent; <br />But if once the message greet him <br />That his True Love doth stay, <br />If Death should come and meet him, <br />Love will find out the way!<br /><br />Anonymous Olde English<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-will-find-out-the-way-2/
