I Often Go Walking

Lyrics

1. 1. I often go walking in meadows of clover,

   And I gather armfuls of blossoms of blue.

   I gather the blossoms the whole meadow over;

   Dear mother, all flowers remind me of you.

2. 2. O mother, I give you my love with each flower

   To give forth sweet fragrance a whole lifetime through;

   For if I love blossoms and meadows and walking,

   I learn how to love them, dear mother, from you.
