This looks like the black medic I find around my place, so my guess is
Medicago lupulina.

That was a super good guess, especially given how crappy my photo was. I
just now went out to the street edge to see if it had any of the little
black seeds of Black Medic, & it doesn't, but your suggestion led me to a
website that noted Black Medic and Least Hop Clover greatly look alike.
Turns out it's Trifolium dubium, one of the commonest early spring
roadside weeds.

One way or t'other, this newsgroup is so often so helpful.

"Oh, sir! The flowers, they are wild," replied the timid creature.
