Thread Name: Lyr Req: Shepherd Market (Eleanor Farjeon)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Shepherd's Market
Found the source poem somewhere I could grab it:

Will you go along with me to Shepherd Market?
It's there they hold the merriest Fair in May.
Will you go along with me to Shepherd Market
In a pair of red-heeled slippers very gay?
I'll pick a bunch of cowslips for your bodice,
And I'll tie a yellow ribbon in your hair,
If you'll go along with me to shepherd Market
And dance me round the Maypole at May-Fair.

- Eleanor Farjeon, ca. 1916
