Lyrics
English
The man who wants a garden fair,
Or small or very big,
With flowers growing here and there,
Must bend his back and dig.
The things are mighty few on earth
That wishes can attain.
Whate’er we want of any worth
We’ve got to work to gain.
It matters not what goal you seek
Its secret here reposes:
You’ve got to dig from week to week
To get Results or Roses.
Or small or very big,
With flowers growing here and there,
Must bend his back and dig.
The things are mighty few on earth
That wishes can attain.
Whate’er we want of any worth
We’ve got to work to gain.
It matters not what goal you seek
Its secret here reposes:
You’ve got to dig from week to week
To get Results or Roses.
Summary
This poem teaches that good results require steady effort rather than
wishes alone. It uses the example of a gardener who must bend down and
dig to create a beautiful garden. The poem says that very few worthwhile
things in life can be achieved simply by wishing for them. Whatever
valuable goal a person chooses requires regular work and persistence.
The image of digging for results or roses shows that success grows from
continuous effort.
