Godard, Benjamin. "Chanson de Florian". In _New and Old Favourites: A Collection of Popular Old and Recent New Songs_. New York: Richard A Saalfield, c. 1888. pp. 72- 74. [translator does not appear to be given?]:

At morning light when lambs awaken
And water-lilies open wide
Along the mountains' grassy side
Her way the shepherdess has taken
Oh happy life! oh maiden free!
Kings on their thrones might envy thee!

Her plenteous ditty softly singing
Along the dewy meadshe goes
She loves to seethe flocks repose
To hear the sheep-bells gaily ringing
Oh happy life! oh maiden free!
Kings on their thrones might envy thee!
