Early Everlasting


Speedwell, touch-me-not,
Ain’t no flower like the one I got
Loosestrife, wintergreen
The finest kind I ever seen

Lamb’s ears, lady’s thumb
Look out honey cause here I come
Sticktight, marigold
Gonna love you til we’re good and old

Shepherd’s purse and arrowroot and early everlasting too

Mayflower, celandine
A big wet ocean and a thin dry line
Heal-all, bleeding heart
We’re half a whole and all a part

Purple clover, queen anne’s lace
I never will forget your face
Bittersweet and cocklebur
We’ll never be the way we were

Foxglove, leopard’s bane
A little sun, a little rain
Ghostpipe, silverbud
The higher light, the daily mud

Goldenseal and feverfew and early everlasting too
Devil’s bit and meadow rue and early everlasting too
