Tree of Love

I ask you this
Doth not thou know
Upon which tree 
Doth sweet love grow

Nor the weeping willow
Which always cry's
Nor the poor yew groves
Which aroud dead people lie

The tree of man 
Is where love grows
And by his death shows
That his love grows

But loving hearts do beat
Like yonder kettle drum
So where is my sweet love 
I beg thee to come
