Roses of Picardy.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. Mar 2001.

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 summer time,
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,
'Til the shadows veil their sighs,

But he loves to hold her little hand,
And look in her sea blue eyes.

And he sees the rose 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 summer time,
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.
