Buy my flowers,-oh buy, I pray! The blind girl comes from afar.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
A flower seller pleads with passers-by to buy blooms, repeating the appeal with urgency. The second line adds pathos by introducing a blind girl who has travelled a long distance. The verse asks for pity and charity as much as for a sale.
