But that's not the flower for me;

So I plucked the bud,

And it pricked me to blood,

And I gazed on the willow tree.

Othe willow tree it will twist,

And the willow tree, it will turn;

I would I were clasped

In my lover's arms fast,

For 'tis he that has stolen my thyme.

O it's very good drinking of ale,
