From CD #1:
Blumenlied
(or, "The Flower Song")

Music by Gustav Lange

Liner Notes

This is a song Bloom buys for his daughter Milly when she is taking piano lessons. Known in English as "The Flower Song," it is tied to Bloom's pen name, Henry Flower, which he uses in his clandestine correspondence with Martha Clifford. It is one of a number of flower references throughout Ulysses.
