The Seeds of Love

I sowed the seeds of love

And I sowed them in the Spring

I gathered them up in the morning so soon

While the small birds do sweetly sing.

My garden was planted with flowers well

With flowers everywhere

But I had not the liberty to choose for myself

Of the flowers that I love so dear.

The gardener was standing by

And I asked him to choose for me.

He choosed for me the Violet the Lily & the Pink

But those I refused all three.

The Violet I did not like

Because it bloomed so soon

The Lily & the Pink I really overthink

So I vowed that I’d stay till June.
1a

In June there was a red rose bud,

And that's the flower for me

I oftentimes have plucked that red rose bud

Till I gain the willow tree.

The willow tree will twist

And the willow tree will twine

I have oftentimes have wished I was in that young man's arms

That once had the heart of mine.

Come all you false young men,

D'not leave me here to complain

For the grass that have been oftentimes trampled under foot

Give it time it will rise up again.

John England. Hambridge. Sept. 1903
