walterpond@wycol.com Origins: Seeds of Love (8) History: Seeds of Love 10 Mar 98


I'm looking for some history or background on the traditional English lyrics to the folksong, "Seeds of Love." I found it in the DigiTrad database under this title and noted as recorded by Clancy Bros on 'Bold Fenian men' and by Robin and Barry Dranesfield on 'Contrary'.

I first heard it by Loreena McKennitt on 'a winter garden' (c) 1995 by Quinlan Road Limited, and available from Warner Bros. Records, Inc.

The lyrics have a specific association for me, but I am interested in learning what I can about their origins. Any suggestions for source material (library, web, person) would be appreciated!

Thanks!
