Sandy Denny - The Leaves Of Life ( The Seven Virgins ) By: By.TuRuT Date: February 07, 2010, 09:00:01 PM All under the leaves and the leaves of life I met with virgins seven And one of them was Mary mild, Our Lord's best mother in heaven.
``Oh what are you seeking, my seven pretty maids, All under the leaves of life?'``We are seeking for no leaves, Thomas,
But for a friend of thine.``Go down, go down into yonder town And sit in the gallery And there you'll see sweet Jesus Christ, Nailed to a big yew tree.So down they went into yonder town And sat in the gallery And there they saw sweet Jesus Christ, Nailed to a big yew tree.
Yes down they went into yonder town As fast as foot could follow And many a sad and a lonely tear From them virgin's eyes did fall.
