Field flowers by Frederick Stanislaus — Lyrics
Field flowers, sweet field flowers,
Fairies of the spring,
Only those who love them
Know the joy they bring;
Love can but discover
With their beauty worth,
Jewelling all over
All the bright green earth.

About Field flowers
Frederick Stanislaus's Field Flowers is a SATB setting of an English text that celebrates the simple beauty of wildflowers. This charming secular partsong evokes the joy and delight of discovering these natural treasures, likening them to fairies of the spring. The composer captures the text's sentiment that only those with a loving eye can truly appreciate the worth and beauty these flowers bring to the earth. The piece paints a picture of flowers appearing unexpectedly on any path, offering their smiles and a sweet greeting to the wanderer. It is ideal for a spring concert or a program focused on nature and the outdoors.
