Results Or Roses

Pentangle: Sally Go 'Round the Roses

The man who wants
a garden fair,
or small or very big,
with flowers growing
here and there,
must bend his back and dig.



The things are
mighty few on earth
that wishes can attain.
whate'er we want
of any worth
we've got to work to gain.

It matters not
what goal you seek,
its secret here reposes:
you've got to dig
from week to week
to get Results or Roses.
