Gay little dandelion (Anonymous, set by G. Chadwick) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Gay little dandelion light up the meads
Swings on her slender foot, telleth her beads,
Lists to the Robin's note poured from above,
Wise little dandelion ask not for love.

Pale little dandelion in her white shroud
Neareth the Angel breeze, call from the clouds
Tiny plumes fluttering, make no delay,
Little winged dandelion soareth away.
