Stower Origins: Willow Green turned into White - meaning (25) RE: Origins: Willow Green turned into White - meaning 09 Dec 10

Thanks, Michael. In the song, the willow turning to white is an end to sorrow. Wearing the green willow seems to indicate the absent lover and it turning white an end to the grief rather the beginning of it. It would be great to have references from the 17th century, as symbols can change and evolve over time.

Thanks again.
