The clover

Language: English

Our translations: DUT GER

O ruddy Lover! O brave red Clover!
Didst think to win her Thou dost adore?
She will not love thee, She looks above thee,
The Daisy's gold doth move her more.
 
If gold can win her,
So leave the Sinner,
And sigh no more!

Add this translation to the Basket

O rode minnaar! O dapp're rode Klaver!
Dacht je haar te veroveren die jij aanbidt?
Ze zal niet van je houden, ze kijkt op je neer,
Het goud van de margriet trekt haar meer.
 
Als goud haar kan winnen
verzet dan je zinnen
en smacht niet meer!
