ITS THE SKY-LARK.
Ainsi chantoit uaejeaae fillette ;
Elle croyoit desirer le bonheur,
Mieux eut vain helas pour la pauvrette,
Qu' amour n'eut jamais paru dans son coeur.
Hussard la vit, l'Adora, su lui plaire,
Brulent amour les embrasa tous deux,
Jamais ce dieu ne forma snrr la terre,
Cceurs plus ardents ni plus aimable noeuds.
Hussard gouta le bonheur de la vie,
Mair ce bonheur ne dura qu'en seul jour 7
Puis fut force de quitter son amie,
Honneur parloit de lui ceder l'amour.
Dans les combats hussard perdit la vie,
Bien jeune encore s'etoit mourir, helas!
Mais tout un jour dans les bras de sa mie,
II fut heureux— ahl nele plaignez pas.
