A maiden far afield
Bushwacking down the mead
Harvesting thyme and heath
Timothy and hogweed
Chamomile and clove
Sedge and sage for now
A runlet to burgh
By the castle
And the clough
Clary and Clover
The fragrance of sorrel
Tramping poor rover
With a bellwether
A vestal she remains
While her corset stains
Trugs of maiden pink
For all the earls' wink
