I went to the wood and got it;
I sat me down to look for it
And brought it home
Because I couldn't find it.

-or-

I went to the wood and got it,
I sat me down and looked at it;
The more I looked at it the less I liked it,
And I brought it home because I couldn’t help it.

-or-

I went to the wood and I got it;
I sat me down, and I sought it;
I kept it against my will
And so by force home I brought it.

Riddle: In all cases, it is a thorn.

The earleist I've see any variation of this rhyme/riddle is about 1877.
