This a line from Bartok's opera "Bluebeard's Castle". Previous to this, Bluebeard says, "Minden virág neked bókol", which in English is something like "Every flower is for you". He is talking to his new wife. I think he is naming some flowers, but I'm not sure. I need help with this line. Thanks to all.

you make it grow, you make it wilt, you make its new shoots more beautiful
This is the meaning but, of course this is not a poetic translation. Such translation probably does exist, though.

Thou hast made them bud and blossom...
"Thou hast made them bud and blossom,
Thou hast made them swiftly wither."
The other line, "Minden virág neked bókol" in English reads "Every flower is for you."

I meant to write, the second line is NOT what you wrote but
"Ev'ry flower nods to greet thee."
