English text

Have you seen my Lillie,
Sweetest, fairest,
Have you seen my Lillie
Passing here today?
Lillie so fair,
Lillie so gay,
Thro’ the woodland, thro’ the valley,
Have you seen my Lillie
Passing here today?

Lovely is my Lillie,
Brightest, dearest,
Tripping like a fairy
O’er the dewy lea.
Gentle is she,
Merry with glee,
By the fountain softly playing,
Have you seen my Lillie
Tripping o’er the lea?
