Black Eyed Susan

bruceferguson, ,

All in the Downs the fleet lay moored,
The streamers waving in the wind,
When black-eyed Susan came on board;
β€œOh, where shall I my true-love find?
Tell me you jovial sailors, tell me true
𝄆 If my sweet William 𝄇 sails among your crew.”

                                                1720 by John Gay

The walkers round the corner alone, in pairs, or with a dog. They ask me what I do and I reply. One young woman with a dog I gave unwanted plants because for her this had meaning.
