From my brother the lily of the woods I don't have touching it emblem ; But the lawn knows my voice And the breeze tells me: "I love you ! "I
embalm the places where I grow, And the dew on my pale forehead Put pearls, - like kings Never have any in their tiara.
To the first songs of the nightingale, I let you run on the ground My little white bells,
Which say to the child dreamer : "The buds star the branches, This is the return of happiness. "From me to you, who am I? The pretty lily of the valley of the first of May!

From my brother the lily of the woods I don't have touching it emblem ; But the lawn knows my voice And the breeze tells me: "I love you ! "I
embalm the places where I grow, And the dew on my pale forehead Put pearls, - like kings Never have any in their tiara.
To the first songs of the nightingale, I let you run on the ground My little white bells,
Which say to the child dreamer : "The buds star the branches, This is the return of happiness. "From me to you, who am I? The pretty lily of the valley of the first of May!
