When I was in the 1st grade In 1956 our teacher thought it to us as she shared with us about flowers. I always wanted to know what flower she was singing about. Hopefully some could share that flower name with us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714127795828742124.post-23466596951548306822021-07-27T07:48:41.137-05:002021-07-27T07:48:41.137-05:00So nice to see that I'm not the only Senior wh...So nice to see that I'm not the only Senior who remembers this song from long-ago childhood. My father was in the U.S. Army and was stationed near Wertheim. We learned German in the military school from a local lady and I think that we may have learned this song in English and German. :-)<br /><br />ReadingMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15735299627903916181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714127795828742124.post-19907879899381861332019-03-05T16:06:30.342-06:002019-03-05T16:06:30.342-06:00Actually no

Written By Hoffman von Fallersleben. A german childrens folk song.<br />Might be wis to do some reserach and present facts.
