I Hoed and trenched and weeded, And took the flowers to fair: I brought them home unheeded; The hue was not the wear.So up and down I sow them For lads like me to find, When I shall lie below them, A dead man out of mind.Some seed the birds devour, And some the season mars, But here and there will flower The solitary stars,And fields will yearly bear them As light-leaved spring comes on, And luckless lads will wear them When I am dead and gone.
