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 [side] Longing Leaf,
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.
