L’Arbre Fée de Bourlemont.

Song of the children

Now what has kept your leaves so green,

Arbre Fée de Bourlemont?

The children’s tears! they brought each grief,

And you did comfort them and cheer

Their bruised hearts, and steal a tear

That, healèd, rose, a leaf.

And what has built you up so strong,

Arbre Fée de Bourlemont?
