- Verse:
- She is watching by the poplars,
Colinette with the seablue 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:
-
- Chorus:
- "Roses are shining
in Picardy. In the hush of the silver dew,
- Roses are flow'ring 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!"
