The peony
Singing
1. The peony, ; Bends down to walk, ; A wilted rose, ; There is no one to pluck it. ; ; 2. Pick it up, Maris; Tie it to your bouquet. ; Tie it to Vince Varga's ; Pörge's hat. ; ; 3. If he can't stand it, ; He puts it in his chest, ; Every time he opens it, ; He always smells it. ; ; Then he still says, (to lines 3. 4. of the melody) ; My heart was given to Maris.
