about

Trad., arr. Kerry Andrew

I was beguiled by Kate Fletcher and Corwen Broch’s beautiful version of this traditional song (Roud 127), also known as The Garland of Love. This song is for my husband, Andy.

lyrics

I'll weave my love a garland
It shall be dressed so fine
I'll set in round with roses
With lilies, pinks and thyme
And I'll present it to my love
When he returns from sea
I love my love, because I know
My love he loves me

I wish I were an arrow
I'd speed into the air
To seek as a sparrow
And if he were not there
How quickly I'd become a fish
To search the raging sea
I love my love, because I know
My love he loves me

I wish I were a reaper
I'd seek him in the corn
I wish I were a keeper
I'd hunt him with my horn
I'd blow a blast when found at last
Beneath the greenwood tree
I love my love, because I know
My love he loves me.
