Let us not forget
Ernest Tessier
She was so young and so fair
That I loved her deep and true
(It may be her heart forgets)
And her look, sweet and demure.
My eyes only could tell her
What passionate thoughts were mine!
I have wept at her lovely smile.
O my heart, do not forget!
One day, a foolish wild feeling
Came suddenly o'er my mind
(Her heart maybe now forgets)
I stole from her a sweet kiss!
In her fright she look'd still fairer.
As I saw her more away,
"That one stolen kiss", she told me,
"My heart never shall forget!"
My voice then spoke a request:
"Of that kiss make me a gift!"
I obtained (her heart forgets)
Both the kiss and forgiveness!
Passion pure and ardent flame!
On the very brink of death,
Thrill again this pour soul of mine!
Sad and lone, do not forget!
