Performed Live by Up and Coming Folk Artist 2022 on the UK circuit Isabel InkCap
First documented in 1689 this is a tale as old as time in Traditional English and Irish Folk
There are versions from a plethora of artists but influence comes from versions by Pentangle, Carey Mulligan and Jim Moray.
Special thanks to Toby Shaer for the Collaboration
In Thomas Dunham Whitaker's History of the Parish of Whalley, it is claimed that around the year 1689, a woman named Mrs. Fleetwood Habergam “undone by the extravagance, and disgraced by the vices of her husband,” wrote of her woes in the symbolism of flowers; however, the folklorist Cecil Sharp doubted this claim.[2] The versions allegedly written by Habergram would have been the "Seeds of Love" variant; The "Sprig of Thyme" / "Let No Man Steal Your Thyme" variant is probably older than the "Seeds of Love" variant; it has a more modal, sad melody with abstract and reflective lyrics.[2]
The Seeds of Love, sung by the gardener John England, was the first folk song Cecil Sharp ever collected while he was staying with Charles Marson, vicar of Hambridge, Somerset, England, in 1903.[3] Maud Karpeles wrote about this occasion in her 1967 autobiography:
Cecil Sharp was sitting in the vicarage garden talking to Charles Marson and to Mattie Kay, who was likewise staying at Hambridge, when he heard John England quietly singing to himself as he mowed the vicarage lawn. Cecil Sharp whipped out his notebook and took down the tune; and then persuaded John to give him the words. He immediately harmonised the song; and that same evening it was sung at a choir supper by Mattie Kay, Cecil Sharp accompanying. The audience was delighted; as one said, it was the first time that the song had been put into evening dress.[4]

Venid todas, bellas y tiernas muchachas
Que florecen en tu mejor momento
Cuidado, cuidado, mantén tu jardín limpio
Que nadie te robe el tomillo
Que nadie te robe el tomillo
Porque cuando tu tomillo haya pasado y se haya ido
Él no se preocupará más por ti
Y en el lugar tu tiempo fue una pérdida
Se extenderá por todas partes con ruda
Se extenderá por todas partes con ruda
Una mujer es un árbol ramificado
Y el hombre es una vid que se aferra
Y de sus ramas sin cuidado
Tomará lo que pueda encontrar
Tomará lo que pueda encontrar
Tomará lo que pueda encontrar

It's actually an English folk song - not Irish at all.
