by Amy Marcy Cheney Beach (1867 - 1944), "The clover", op. 31 (Three Flower Songs) no. 1
Language: English
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!

1. De klaver
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)
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!

by Amy Marcy Cheney Beach (1867 - 1944), "The yellow daisy", op. 31 (Three Flower Songs) no. 2
Language: English
What's his heart Sweetheart, Sweetheart! What's his heart? Very often I've been told Of his yellow shining gold But the gold's the smallest part Of love, Sweetheart, Sweetheart! Of a happy love, Sweetheart! Is it true, my dear, is it true That his heart's a rusty brown? Nay my sweetheart do not frown, Better know it's brown and sere, Now than when too late, My dear, my dear When too late, My dear!

In love she fell, My shy Bluebell, With a strolling Bumble Bee; He whispered low, "I love you so! Sweet, give your heart to me! I love but you, And I'll be true, O give me your heart, your heart, I pray!" She bent her head, "I will!" she said, When lo! he flew away.

Verliefd werd ze, mijn schuw' hyacinth op een rommelende hommel. Hij fluisterde zacht "ik hou van jou! Schat schenk me je hartje, je hart aan mij Schat schenk je hart aan mij.
