If I could but love you now

As I used to love Rosette!

Béranger.

SHE IS SO PRETTY

SHE is so pretty, the girl I love,

Her eyes are tender and deep and blue

As the summer night in the skies above,

As violets seen through a mist of dew.

How can I hope, then, her heart to gain?

She is so pretty, and I am so plain!
