Patrick Hawes' Down By The Salley Gardens for Soprano Flute Oboe Harp and Strings. Vocal Score.Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet;She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.She bid me take love easy as the leaves grow on the tree;But I being young and foolish with her would not agree.In a field by the river my love and I did stand And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.She bid me take life easy as the grass grows on the weirs;But I was young and foolish and now am full of tears. - W. B. Yeats
