Seeds of Love

(1) I sowed the seed of Love

I'll gather them

(2) My garden he is well planted

a choosing for myself

(4) For the vilet [sic] I did not like

over look

(5) O all in June there's a red rosie bud

flocked up my red rosie bud.

[ ? ] it will turn

(6) I wish I was settin' in the young man's arms

Where I have sat many a time

O Thyme you know it is a precious thing

On the road that the sun shines on

O Thyme it is a thing that will bring things to an end

And that's how my time goes on.

The Cuckoo

As I was a walking & talking one day

Bis 1{ For to meet my own trudle [sic] love

{ I shall meet her bye and bye

For to meet her is a pleasure

A courting it is a grief

He's a false hearted young man

He will bring you to the grave

O the grave it will moulder you

And bring you to the dust

Scarce one man out of twenty

Pretty maidens can you trust.

I do wish I was a scholar

I could handle to my pen

There is one private letter

To my true Love I would send.

I would send & let you know my love

Of my sorrow grief & woe

May the blessing attend on the road

Where you may go.
O the cuckoo she is a fine bird

She do sing as she fly

She bring to us good tidings

And tell to us no lie

She sucks the white flowers

To keep her voice clear

And the more she sing cuckoo

The summer is drawing near.

John Holt at Haselbury Plucknett Aug [August] 23'. 1905
