scarborough fair

the name Scarborough always reminds me of this celtic song "scarborough fair"

chorus:
Are you going to scarborough fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme
Remember me from one who lives there,
For he once was a true love of mine.


the herbs carry a symbolic message to her lover
parsley: takes away bitterness
sage: gives strength
rosemary: faithfulness, love & remeberance
thyme: courage
