WATERING THE FLOWERS

Isaac Taylor Headland translation

I WATER the flowers, I water the flowers,

I water them morning and evening hours,

I never wait till the flowers are dry,

I water them e'er the sun is high;

A basin of water, a basin of tea,

I water the flowers, they're op'ning, you see;

A basin of water, another beside,

I water the flowers, they're opening wide.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
