I sowed the seeds of love
And I sowed them in the spring I gathered them up in the morning so soon
While the small birds so sweetly sing
A verse from the first folksong collected by the man whose labours saved many hundreds of traditional songs and dances from being lost for ever.
An impression of Cecil Sharp and his work written and presented by his friend. collaborator and biographer. Maud Karpeles , with illustrations from BBC Sound Archives and songs specialty recorded by THOMAS HEMSLEY
Producer STANLEY WILLIAMSON (from Manchester)
