White Coral Bells
White Coral Bells
Upon a slender stalk
Lilies of the valley deck my garden walk
Oh, don't you wish that you might hear them ring?
That will happen only when the fairies sing.

We sang this as a round in second grade 64 years ago. I still sing it to myself on occasion, not as a round, of course.

I must be about the same age as Charlie, above. This was sung as a round in my Brownies troop, and then Girl Scouts.

My grandma had Lilies of the Valley planted around her garage. We would visit my grandma in the morning and look at them. Then on the way to school my mom and I would sing this song as a round together. I sang the song to my kids when I became a mother. And I still sing it to myself today. My mom passed away 10 years ago this month and it's a nice memory I have of her.

My mother & I used to sing this all the time, especially on long car trips. I now sing this to my younger son as a lullaby (big brother doesn't like me to sing to him - as a professional singer that stings a bit). I just wish there were more stanzas. Maybe I'll try to make some up :)

What wonderful memories this beautiful piece brought to mind! I was back in kindergarten chapel once again, 38 years ago.

I love this song. I sang it in grade school in music class, about 40 years ago. Can't believe I still remembered all the words to this day!

I learned this song as a round in Brownies 55 years ago and taught it to my own children. We still sing it for fun and now my grandchildren know it. Let's keep it alive for all generations!

Planting coral bells in my garden this season made me think of the song I sung in my childhood, I'm now 59 yrs. old. I was in Brownies and Girl Scouts.

My grandma would sing this whenever she saw lilies of the valley. She was killed in '75 and I was born in 88, but my mom sings it because it reminds her of her mother :)

This song was taught to me in Junior Hi when my church send me to a bigger city to my church's campus for a week of study. What wonderful memories of 65 years ago. ! taught this song to my children but sang the last line "when the Angels sing." My daughter and I have done the round many times even since her children are grown!
By Sue from United States on 11 April 2012
Sang this song to my two children, and now my grandchildren. Spring is here and my two grandaughters are looking forward to the Lilies of the Valley blooming so they can sing as they admire their simple beauty! Seems like 60 or so years ago is the popular age! Me, too.
By Mary from United States on 25 May 2012
This song brings back memories of the Lily of the Valley flowers that were planted by the kitchen window. their smell permeated the air as you walked by the window. I can still picture my mom at the kitchen sink. Now each spring I look forward to that beautiful smell and the memories of my mom. It is my favorite flower.

My cousin and I sang this as a round when we were about 10 years old, about 55 years ago. We lived in Canada at the time.
By Sherri from United States on 16 November 2012
My mother would pet my head and sing this song while I went to sleep. Now I sing it to my grandchildren.
