Sleeps unaware of the clarion call 痴而不觉，寒笳悲嘶
斯卡博洛市集（Scarborough Fair）原是一首古老（大约作于十三世纪）的苏格兰民间谜歌（riddle song）。歌曲的主人是一个被情人抛弃的男人，因此歌词中的he和him在原歌曲中是女称she和her。尽管歌词充满诗意和微妙的情调，但在中世纪时期只能算是民歌，而不可能是贵族的作品。那个年代，贵族和骑士们只能远远地对一个女人在心里暗暗爱慕，而那样的倾情几乎是不可能得到回响的。Scarborough Fair 就蕴涵着歌者对她的离开缘由毫无所知，或者原因过于复杂也就根本不予提及。歌者给他的心上人安排了不可能完成的事情，比如：做衣服而不能有针线缝制的痕迹，找一块地方而必须在大海和海岸之间，收割花草时要用皮革制的镰刀，所有这些意味着有时候爱情需要突破日常生活中似乎不可能的壁障才有希望。如果她能试图去做那些不可能完成的事情，那么她只得返回到他的身边向他求救，于是爱情就有希望得到自然的展开和延续。
歌评:这一首scarborough fair是大家再熟悉不过的经典老歌了,此歌的歌词隐含了一些意义, 如歌名\"scarborough fair\"可剖解为\"scar-borrow-fair\",scar与fair昭示了歌者的本意
-战争与和平(anti-war),sage及thyme的有意延长提醒我们注意:sage同时又有-贤明,圣贤之意, 而thyme与time谐音.此歌曲恰是以一位在战火中牺牲的普通士兵的口吻唱出的.这首歌曲创作于六十年代末,是奥斯卡奖影片\"毕业生(the graduate,1967)\"插曲之一.
