Lyrics: Anon

Surtoute fleur d'élite
Passe la Marguerite.
En beauté, bonté et douceur
Passe tout autre belle fleur;
Sa couleur de grand valeur
Donn'a mon cœur vive vigueur,
Tant qu'a jamais m'incite
D'aimer la Marguerite.

Of all delightful flowers
The marguerite is the best.
In beauty, goodness and sweetness
It surpasses all other lovely blooms;
Her most prized colour
Gives my heart great zest,
As long as ever it prompts me
To love the marguerite.
