Meintjes Kopje! Meintjes Kopje! 
Do the purple daisies grow 
On your rugged slopes in spring-time
As they did in years ago, 

When I walked with one who loved me,
In the days when love was young;
When our eyes held glinted laughter 
And our sighs were songs unsung? 

But the laughter fell and faded,
And the wonder-song is still,
And the track goes all untrodden 
Past the pool and up the hill. 

Meintjes Kopje! Meintjes Kopje! 
Other years your flowers restore, 
But my love who loved the daisies 
Comes to gather them no more.
