NEW GARDEN FIELDS

On the seventeenth of August, the eighth month of the year
Down the new garden fields where T just met my dear,
She appeared like some goddess or some young divine,
And come like a torment to torture my mind.

Collected by RVW from Mr Broomfield, a woodcutter, at East Horndon, Essex on 22 April 1904. From Bushes and Briars by Roy Palmer.
