这首歌本是爱尔兰著名诗人叶芝(William Butler Yeats) 的同名诗作，为广大歌手所翻唱；但最为人熟知、最动人心弦的便是收录在藤田惠美的专辑《挪威甘菊》(Camomile)中的版本，同时也是日剧《同一屋檐下》中的插曲、《fractale》片尾曲。

       这首歌的意境不必用文字来描述，也不应该用文字来描述。只有当你静下心来亲耳听一遍，才能感受那沁人心脾的旋律，找到最初的自我。

歌词：

Down by the salley gardens

My love and I did meet

She passed the salley gardens

With little snow-white feet

She bid me take love easy

As the leaves grow on the tree

But I being young and foolish

With her would not agree

In a field by the river

My love and I did stand

And on my leaning shoulder

She laid her snow-white hand

She bid me take life easy

As the grass grows on the weirs

But I was young and foolish

And now I'm full of tears

Down by the salley gardens

My love and I did meet

She passed the salley gardens

With little snow-white feet

She bid me take love easy

As the leaves grow on the tree

But I being young and foolish

With her would not agree
