The second movement is marked Allegro and is in the key of C major. The final movement is marked Andante and is in the key of G major. The song tells the story of a young girl who is picking flowers in a meadow. As she picks the flowers, she sings a song about the beauty of nature and the joy of being alive. The song is full of vivid imagery and evokes a sense of wonder and awe at the natural world. Geijer's music is characterized by its simple, folk-like melodies and its use of traditional Swedish harmonies. The piano accompaniment is sparse and understated, allowing the voice to take center stage. The song is also notable for its use of syncopation, which gives the music a lively, dance-like quality.

Its simple beauty and heartfelt lyrics have made it a favorite of singers and audiences alike, and it continues to be performed and enjoyed to this day.
