thanks Sarah !
to the heart of the thunder,
the heart of my sorow
flower of the Briar
come storm sea and gales
out-howl all these words of me
flower of the Briar
and my tears and salt sea spray
flower of the Briar
where the grey gulls and the while gulls
fall wing torn and wounded
at the teeth of the rain
where the grey waves and the white waves
bitter as the grave's edge
bewail the sea's rage
the world and its pain
that this tide should cleave us
but a little while
come shipwreck, come shelter,
come flower of the morning
flower of the Briar
where gates that are broken
and gold as September
flower of the briar
leave old roads their winding
flower of the Briar
from farthings and flinders
and days locked in doggerel
or smoored in bland stone
let love learned from jurymen
marksmen and traitors
cough away behind hand
in the hovel of bone
that this road should bind us
but a little while
I wish I could see by the light moon
and dark moon
flower of the Briar
beyond the whore's

I couldn't find anything by that name, but the closest I could come is "The Rose and the Briar"
The Rose and the Briar
(Alan Taylor)
Beware the dream that turns to greed
When the flower rejects the seed
When the lover does not yearn
For the swallow's swift return
Too late the lesson has been learned
The flowers withered the letters burned
The fond embrace is just a breeze
Like the touch of falling leaves
Chorus
Take this broken heart of mine
Throw it out like sour wine
Let it burn upon the fire
For you're the rose and I'm the briar
And now the years are rolling on
And I think of what is gone
For what I gained I do not care
And what I lost I hold most dear
