## The words

Walking in her garden, Dearest of flowers  
was she; Pure and sweet as the lilies Dearer  
than life to me.  
Just a budding blossom Who with God's love was  
sent,  
Seemed to me like an angel As gath’ring  
flow’rs she went.  
First she gathered roses, Pink roses  
glist’ning with dew, Then she gathered  
marguerites Asking them if they knew If her  
lover loved her, And if his love were true,  
And if he e’er should deceive her,  
What could her broken heart do? Then the dainty  
petals Told her the story of old  
Till she came to the last one Left in the heart  
of gold. “He loves me, he loves me not,  
loves me,” That’s what the sweet flow’rs told.
