Easter flowers
Language: English
When you pluck the flowers at happy Easter, In the little garden where once we used to be; When you pluck the flowers at happy Easter, Keep a little flower for me! When you lay them low before God’s altar, In the little chancel where once we bent the knee; Oh, then upon your heart, your lonely, loving heart, Lay one little flower for me!
