Excerpt from Some Fancies in VerseWho is not superstitious - a little? Who does not feel glad to see the new moon, for the first time, over the right shoulder (or, is it the left?) to find a pin with the point turned toward him to make a wish while a meteor is falling - to stumble on a four - leaf clover?That came from. The Garden of Eden, so a Mohammedan legend says To Eve - poor Mother Eve - on leaving her first home was given the privilege of taking one ¿ower with her. She chose the clover, and was in the act of plucking it, when the angel, with the ¿aming sword extended, cried, Pass on! She seized three leaves, and since then the clover has grown with that number. One plant with the original four leaves, pitying her who had left all beauty and happiness, crept out side the garden walls, and grew.Sometimes now in wandering through the fields where clover blossoms red and white do blow, one finds a sprig of that which came from. Eden's garden. Happy he who finds it, for to him it is a sure sign of the health, wealth, fame, and friends that will be his - some day.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
