Original text and translations

English text

Field flowers, sweet field flowers,
Fairies of the spring,
Only those who love them
Know the joy they bring;
Love can but discover
With their beauty worth,
Jewelling all over
All the bright green earth.

Field flowers, sweet field flowers,
Everywhere they come,
Where-so-e’er un-seeking,
You may chance to roam;
With their smiles to meet us
On each path of ours,
All unsought to greet us
Come the sweet field flowers.
