Story behind the song
i first heard joan baez sing this. many versions exist. parts of it don't make much sense, due to it being too good to lose even if only imperfectly remembered. i agree with that.
Lyrics
i will twine with my mingles of raven black hair with the roses so red and the lilies so fair the myrtle so bright with its emerald hue and the pale and the leader and eyeslook to blue i will dance i will sing and my life shall be gay i will charm every heart in the crowd i survey i woke from my dreaming all idols was clay and all fortunes of loving had all flown away he taught me to love him and promised to love and cherish me over all others above my poor heart is wondring no misry can tell he's left me no warning no word of farewell he taught me to love him and called me his flower that was blooming to cheer him through life's dreary hour how i long to see him and regret the dark hour he's gone and neglected his frail wildwood flower.
