“This song was written for my wonderful husband, before he was my husband, and is also for the Baroness Elspbeth of Bridge and Ralph the Carter. It has, in its time, become an anthem for fellow Sunflowers of the Apocalypse.”<\/em><\/p>\n

You can listen to the tune right here….<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh she\u2019ll hang me
\nthen she\u2019ll boil me
\nand she\u2019ll cut me in half thrice
\nif I cannot speak
\nsome whisper sweet
\nthat will somehow come out nice<\/p>\n

for my love is not a dainty rose
\nbut is hardy, tall and strong
\nlike the golden flower out in yon field
\nfeeding birds the winter long<\/p>\n

ah my love is wise as the bonny trees
\nall gathered in the wood –
\nnot that skinny dancing willow she
\nbut the grand old oak so good!<\/p>\n

Oh she\u2019ll hang me..etc<\/p>\n

Oh my love is not the dancing wave
\nthat flits along the shore
\nbut the giant rock of the ocean cliff
\nthat stands forever more.<\/p>\n

I have seen the love of many fair maids
\nthough none so brave and true –
\nDear, if I wanted just the fairest maid,
\nI\u2019d not be in love with you!<\/p>\n

(the Lady replies)<\/p>\n

Oh she\u2019ll hang me
\nthen she\u2019ll boil me
\nand she\u2019ll cut me in half thrice
\nif I cannot speak
\nsome whisper sweet
\nthat will somehow come out nice<\/p>\n

Oh I\u2019ll hang you
\nand I\u2019ll boil you!
\nand I would cut you in half thrice
\nbut you have not said
\none single word
\nthat was not fair and nice<\/p>\n

You say I am strong as the sturdy oak
\nthat flimsy I will not be,
\nnor a sweet and sheltered fading rose
\nthat the sun will never see!<\/p>\n

True, the fairest maid may not be I
\nof those across the land,
\nbut my love for you is of solid rock
\nwhile they are grains of sand.<\/p>\n

So I\u2019ll hang \u2013 your coat
\nand I\u2019ll boil \u2013 some tea
\nand the new bread I will slice.
\nNow give up for me
\nthy poetry
\nhere just come and kiss me thrice.<\/p>\n

So I\u2019ll hang your coat
\nand I\u2019ll boil some tea
\nand the new bread I will slice
\nnow give up for me
\nthy poetry
\nhere just come and kiss me thrice<\/p>\n

So give up for me
\nthy poetry
\nhere just come and kiss me thrice.<\/p>\n

so give up for me \/ I’ll give up for thee<\/em>
\nthy poetry \/ my poetry<\/em>
\nhere just come \/ I’ll just come<\/em>
\nand kiss me thrice \/ and kiss thee thrice.<\/em><\/p>\n
