edward macdowell - the mignonette lyrics

Loading...

a dame of high degree
is she, is she
the gentle migninette
and at her side
in honest pride
stands my sweet bouncing bet
her kerchief folded neat
and sweet
her bodice rosy_red
my heart she holds
in its soft folds
and yet__we do not wed!

for once i raised mine eye
too high i loved fair mignonette!
she never knew
she thought me true
to humblе bouncing bet
sweet hopeless lovе, if wise
soon dies
and “here’s a maid,” i said
“she’s lovely fair
and waits, i swear”
and yet i do not wed!
