Song language: English
Roses of Picardy |
She is watching by the poplars |
Colinette with the sea-blue eyes |
She is watching and longing, and waiting |
Where the long white roadway lies |
And a song stirs in the silence |
As the wind in the boughs above |
She listens and starts and trembles |
'Tis the first little song of love |
Roses are shining in Picardy |
In the hush of the silver dew |
Roses are flowering in Picardy |
But there’s never a rose like you! |
And the roses will die with the summertime |
And our roads may be far apart |
But there’s one rose that dies not in Picardy |
'Tis the rose that I keep in my heart |
And the years fly on forever |
Till the shadows veil their skies |
But he loves to hold her little hands |
And look into her sea-blue eyes |
And she sees the road by the poplars |
Where they met in the bygone years |
For the first little song of the roses |
Is the last little song she hears: |
Roses are shining in Picardy |
In the hush of the silver dew |
Roses are flowering in Picardy |
But there’s never a rose like you! |
And the roses will die with the summertime |
And our roads may be far apart |
But there’s one rose that dies not in Picardy |
'Tis the rose that I keep in my heart |
