Good question, so I googled it and found this
PHP Code:
Ella Higginson (1861-1940) described the meaning of the four-leafed clover thus:
"One leaf is for hope, & one is for faith,
And one is for love, you know,
And God put another in for luck,
If you search, you will find where they grow."
Hope - Dóchas
Faith - This is tricky to translate, it depends on the type of "Faith" you mean, for example, religious faith or faith in a person.
Faith (religious belief) Creideamh
Faith (as in a person) muinín
Love - Grá
Luck - Ádh
