I Searched for Love

I searched for love behind a rock, but did not find it there
I searched high in the clouds from which I only found despair
I searched beneath the potted plants placed plainly on the porch
and on the hills and in the stream, I wandered back and forth
I searched amongst the weeds and flowers alike
but found no cure
for I was sick of searching, yet still drawn to love's strange allure
I searched and searched and finally found rest beside a tree
'Twas only when I searched no more that love did come to me
