Elizabethan Herb Song Plant me a garden to heal the body Betony, yarrow and daisies to mend Sage for the blood and comfrey for bones Foxglove and hyssop the sick to tend.
Plant me a garden to heal the heart, Balm for joy, and the sweet violet Cowslips, pansies and chamomile To ease the pain I want to forget. Plant me a garden to heal the soul, A garden of peace and tranquility, Soothed with the scent of lavender And the heavenly blue of chicory.
