Aus Feld und Wiese

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Butterblumen sonnen golden,
roten Mohn und Kerbeldolden,
Wollgras, weiß und weich wie Seide,
Sauerampfer, Purpurweide:
was ich heut am Weg gefunden,
hab ich dir zum Strauß gebunden.
Mutterchen, da hast du ihn!
Soll er bei dir weiterblühn?

From field and meadow

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Sunny, golden buttercups,
red poppies and hedge parsley,
cotton grass, white and soft as silk,
sorrel, purple osier:
whatever I found along the road today
I made into a bouquet for you.
Dear mother, here you have it!
Shall it continue to bloom with you?
