Sorrel

 

In a garden of the south-land

He found her wandering astray

She came to show him of her beauty

That many passer-by don't see

 

Would you be taking  in

Such frail-looking lady

The sadness of her lone display

 

Dressed in yellow fire burning

The corner dweller on the lane

Sorrow was her only feeling

For she could have no living shame

 

Take good care of time

To sow your own true seed

The summers end will bring your leaving

 

Then he journeyed for a long ways

She was never in his mind

Came he home to just a memory

For the lady she had died

 

Take good care of time

To sow your own true seed

The summers end will bring your leaving
