English Translation
Just a few flowers, humble violets,
They are the breath of April with a gentle scent;
And for you I snatched them from the sunshine…
If they could speak you’d hear them murmuring:
“We are timid and shy daughters of spring.
We are your friends; we will die tonight,
And will be happy to wish you,
Who love the unfortunate ones:
May heaven grant you all the good things you hope for.”
And my heart adds a word, modest but sincere:
May your life, which brings comfort to others,
Be an eternal spring.
Please accept all that I can offer!
