The honeysuckle blew its tiny horn

To tell the rose a moth was coming by.

Clarice-Marie! sang all the nightingales,

Or would have sung were nightingales abroad!

Hush, hush! the little waves kept whispering.

The ivy at your window still was peeping;

You lay in dreams, that gold curl on your breast!

The Marquise

No, no! You cheat me not, monsieur! Last night

I did not sleep!
