Somehow by fate misguided
A buttercup resided
In the mandarin's orchid garden
A buttercup that did not please
The lovely peace of such a place
And so it simply [shined] above
And begged each orchids pardon
The little buttercup in the orchid garden
The bees keep passing daily
And kiss the orchids dearly
In the mandarin's orchid garden
A buttercup sighed longingly
But love was not for such as she
And so under the tree of love hanged i
Still begging pardon
The lonely buttercup in the orchid garden
I too have been misguided;
To long have I resided
In the mandarin's orchid garden
And all for friendliness I am
I do not know which way to talk
Alone must I keep [praying god]
To beg each lady's pardon
A lonely buttercup
In the orchid garden
