Song: I would I were an English rose
By Silas Weir Mitchell (18291914)
From ‘Francis Drake’
I
In England for to be:
The sweetest maid that Devan knows
Should pick and carry me.
A fortune fair to prove,
And count in love’s arithmetic
Thy pretty sum of love.
And blithe her maidens be;
But there be some that walk alone,
And look across the sea.
