I meant no harm to you, I have done you wrong
I gave no thought to you, it has been so long
All through the winter
No water I poured
On plants in a planter
At the verandah I ignored
I have never noticed you are in bud
Bringing the spring sunshine to your bed
Violet flowers spring into bloom
And make my frozen days resume
Fine stalks, fine stalks wave in a breeze
Green leaves, green leaves grow as they please
Strong lives, strong lives make me learn
Season on the turn, and flowers return
I have no idea of what your name was like
Never treated gently my friends, you and myself alike
If you withered and died I could not know the fact
As I did not know the fact the season had flown so fast
Sank in the snow of sadness and sigh
I could do nothing but let winter go by
Left alone in the cold air like a tomb
There you have been preparing to bloom
Fine stalks, fine stalks wave in a breeze
Green leaves, green leaves grow as they please
Strong lives, strong lives make me learn
Season on the turn, and flowers return
I have never noticed you are in bud
Bringing the spring sunshine to your bed
Violet flowers spring into bloom
And make my frozen days resume
Fine stalks, fine stalks wave in a breeze
Green leaves, green leaves grow as they please
Strong lives, strong lives make me learn
Season on the turn, and flowers return
