I've had this version of Seeds of Love for years, I assume we are talking about the same song.

1.
I sowed the seeds of love, I sowed them in the spring,
In April, May and June likewise,
While the small birds did sweetly sing,
While the small birds did sweetly sing.
2.
My garden was planted well, with flowers everywhere,
But I'd not the liberty to choose for myself,
The flower that I loved dear,
The flower that I loved dear.
3.
The gardener was standing by, and I asked him to choose for me,
He chose me the violet, the lily and the pink,
But these I refused all three,
But these I refused all three.
4.
The violet I did not like, because it fades so soon,
The lily and the pink I did overthink,
And vowed I would wait till June,
I vowed I would wait till June.
5.
For in June there's a red rose bud, and that's the flower for me,
And I often plucked at that red rose bud,
Till I found the willow tree,
I found the willow tree.
6.
The gardener was standing by, and he asked me to take great care,
For in the middle of that red rose bush,
There lurks a sharp thorn there,
There lurks a sharp thorn there.
7.
But I told him I'd take no care, until I felt the smart,
And often I plucked at that red rose bush,
Till it pierced me to the heart,
Till it pierced me to the heart.
8.
So a posy of hyssop I'll take, no other flower I'll touch,
That all the world may plainly see,
I loved one flower too much,
I loved one flower too much.
